so serious in Wild wood that aS the public school* were ordered dosed on Monday, and win remain dosed Indefinitely. Flree are out and the water has been turned off. It to a hard matter te get coal for home conaumptloa. Last Saturday and Sunday lbs shortage waa at IU worst probably. when It waa almost Impossible to get even a quarter of a ton. Mr. Saul was entirely out and baa been ever since. Mr. Colson bad but very little, but two carloads came In for the Austin company during the week, which relieved tbe tension for the pra ent Mr. Saul went to the dty Monday in a vain effort to get coal.

Indicate:

While the local coal dealers are doing everything possible to avert suffering from the lick of fuel te this city, the situation threatens to become acute, and the members of the Board of Education In an endeavor to help In the matter has offered the use qf the High School Building to tbe churches In this city for < ed services, or for any other arrangement that will permit service* being held in the High School Building and toe closing of the churches. The communication sent to tbe pastors, containing tbe offer of the Board of Eduaatlon. also contained an offer to buy from the churches aay coal they might have on band. There is also objection In an increasingly active form. It to —u to the keeping of Fire House No. 2 open, when the original pi«" in building tbe City Hall waa to house tbe three companies there. It has been slated several times this waek that with the shortage of coal preventing tome of our residents securing more than a halt ton at one time, three tons were to find their way to Na 2 Fire House this week. Reports would indicate that ther* has been no Vv.'ual suffering In the County to dele, but unlees the attention eases up very soon, there to apt to be actual suffering. The mainland dwellers have happily solved the beating problem—they are bnrnlng wood, of which there to no shortage. Some are reaping a rich harvest from their supply, U rumor* that wood Is selling at 810 per cord In Wildwood are true.
