New Coal Distribution System Proposed for Midwest Districts
Chicago July 3 Earl Dean Howard deputy fuel administrator Illinois says plans to split the nation into districts for coal supply. Illinois and Indiana would form a producing zone supplying Missouri and Iowa if the plan is enacted. Each district would have a deputy as head, with a zoning rule preventing cross border coal movement, reducing red tape and eliminating Washington appeals.
