Coal Depot Delivers 25 Tons as Salvation Army Serves Crowd
A New York Salvation Army coal depot in Chatham Square distributed 25 tons of coal to a crowd of over 200 people. Ten cents a pail, some coal sold for eight cents, and several baskets given free. Five wagons carted coal all day, with $1,000 spent on carting. Officials said more depots would ease the burden on residents and that coal supplies would stabilize as distribution expands.

Swanstrom Seeks Coal For Brooklyn Poor Unsuccessfully
Borough President Swanstrom told by President Baldwin that the Pennsylvania Railroad cannot ship five thousand tons of coal daily to Brooklyn for the poor at cost. He hopes smaller shipments can be arranged with help from other railroads and cooperation from wealthy residents and coal dealers. Alfred White notes charity groups, urges selling coal by the pair, and limiting purchases to aid the poor. Pennsylvania may grant a concession: coal sold by the pall to the poor at ten cents each, with preferred treatment for dealers who agree.
