Boston Faces Serious Coal Shortage and Price Rise
Boston coal dealers warn the anthracite supply will not last beyond two months as a Pennsylvania strike tightens prices. About 1,062,791 tons are consumed in Boston yearly with 280,000 people unsupplied, risking a $105,000 three month rise at 75 cents per ton, hitting poorer residents hardest. City orders largely cover current needs, so no immediate price hikes are planned.
