Coal Depot Opens as Salvation Army Distributes Fuel
A new Salvation Army coal depot at Chatham Square hauled in twenty five tons for a crowd of over two hundred. Coal sold at ten cents a pail, many bought for eight cents, some given free. Five wagons carted fuel. $1,000 spent on transport. Officers say small stations will ease the burden, with Delancey Street cellar already opened. Railroads insist on moving coal regardless of price, disputing extortion claims.
