Yards Supplied With Wood for Retail Trade
Wool may be purchased at local yard stocks as wood for fuel remains scarce. The wood committee of the municipal administration reports no prices yet and notes demand surged by official request. Chairman Sumner Simpson says over 90 percent of heating plants can burn wood with existing or soon available supplies. Negotiations are ongoing for 600 cords and a city yard supply plan is expected after the current wool depletion. A field committee meeting notes 171,600 tons of hard coal received, 168,000 tons delivered, with Hartford to host a Tuesday session to firm up general wood burning plans amid influenza ravages.
