Shortage Of Winter Fuel Held Sure
Middletown faces a definite fuel shortage this winter unless households order winter supplies soon. The Buy Fuels Early committee said Middletown residents have ordered only half as much coal this summer as in prior years. Local dealers note coal storage is high and mine deliveries are slowed by car shortages, with fuel oil tank cars diverted for defense needs. The issue prompted a state committee in Ohio led by Gov. Lausche, and city officials including Francis Carmody sit on the local group.
