City Coal Supply Won By Local Dealer At 42.96 A Ton
The city awarded a contract to Tatri l McGee, a local dealer, for supplying anthracite coal at 42.96 a ton. A similar contract to Vincent Brothers was considered but turned down. The bid was the lowest among those before the Board of Contract and Supply, with short terms due to a coal strike. The coal funds support the garbage disposal plant, while road material contracts were deferred pending stone and trap rock test results from Rochester Polytechnical Institute.
