Hagerstown, Mtd. — M. I. B r e w e r,

 Building which was destroyed by fire

 ment with the insurance company.

IMPRESSIVE COAL FIGURES. 

 Testifying before the Senate Sub 

 Committee, Harry A, Garfield, U. S. 

 Fuel Administrator announced facts 

 concerning the nation's fuel situation 

 that are of public concern and should 

 specially interest persons having an 

 available supply of wood. 



Production of anthracite coal for 

 1917 is estimated at 84,000,000 tons, an 

 increase of about 11,000,000 tons over 

 1916. Bituminous coal mined in the 

 United States during 1917 was approx- 

 imately 552,770,400 tons or 50,000,000 

 tons more than the previous year. The 

 total increase in supply was about 61,- 

 000,000 tons, but the demand increased 

 100,000,000 tons. Most of the extra de- 

 mand has arisen since .4pril, 1917, 

 when the United States entered the 

 war, and is largely for the needs of 

 the government, munition plants, and 

 public utilities supplying power to war 

 industries. 



The Fuel Administration has used 

 its powers to stabilize labor conditions 

 and prices so as to insure a large 

 steady coal output for the futiire. But 

 because of excessive demand. Dr. Gar- 

 field is also urging conservation of 

 coal in every way possible and asking 

 for a widespread substitution of wood 

 as a fuel particularly in rural dis- 

 tricts.
