State Fuel Administrator Sees Coal Plan Unadvisable
Connecticut fuel officials weighed coal distribution measures with state districting and price controls in response to shortages. Thomas W. Russell argued against bulk purchase at lower prices, noting cleaning and transport costs, and supported a possible state price fix only if mine prices are set by federal action. He outlined a district approach, gubernatorial support, and said Congress must act before firm sale prices can be set. Bridgeport officials and Mayor Atwater pressed for immediate relief and coordination with New York brokers to secure coal cargoes for consumers.
