PAYS $76 PER ~
TON TOR COAL
The vital importance of increasing
the world’s coal supply and the danger
of speculation in fuel throughout our
country is shown in the following item
from Paris- concerning fuel difficul
ties:
PARIS, July 10. — A housewife in
Paris cannot buy a 50-pound sack of
coal at any price, but large consum
ers have been obtaining it in lots of
from two to ten tons at $75 a ton.
This situation was disclosed in the
debate in the Chamber of Deputies
on the economic situation. It is at
tributed to facilities afforded for
speculation by the licenses through
which the government hoped to regu
late the traffc.
The licenses acquired at once a trad
ing value that was put to profit by
people who hal never had anything to
do with the coal trade. Dressmakers,
lawyers, society men, commission mer
chants of all kinds, dealt in these li
censes, each one taking as big a profit
as he could get in passing it to the
next buyer.
Maurice Violette, Minister of Provi
sions, cited a typical case. The price
of coal originally bought at $JT6 a ton
went to $7(> a ton by passing through
the hands of six intermediaries, none
of whom had anything to do with the
coal business before this license was
issued. %
M. Brunet, Deputy from Paris, cited
a consumer who was able to buy ten
tons of coal, a five years’ supply,
while tenants of the same building
could not obtain enough to cook a
meal and were obliged to use gas.
“These facts have so impressed the
public,” said M. Brunet, “that people
of very moderate ideas have declared
to the authorities that if the situation
continues it means revolution.”
The Minister of Provisions has de
cided to issue no licenses to importers
who were not regular dealers before
the war, and proposes a law punishing
simulation in coal by fines and im
prisonment.

LEASES GIVEN BY
II. S. AT WASILLA
The Land and Industrial De
partment authorizes the following:
j The Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion has leased the following ware
house sites at Wasilla, Alaska:
Tract A: Harry C. Slough, lessee;
for erecting a warehouse in which to
store supplies, the lessee being en
gaged in the general freighting busi
ness to the Willow Creek mining dis
trict.
Tract B: The Wilmoth Company,
lessee, a partnership composed of
Howard W. Wilmoth and Aimer F.
Davis; for erecting a warehouse for
storage purposes.
Tract C: Orville G. Herning, les
see; for erecting a warehouse to be
used for storing supplies handled in
the general merchandise business of
lessee. ^
Tract D: McNally & Maitland and
Anchorage Supply Company, joint les
sees; for the storage of lumber and
the necessary buildings in connection
therewith.
The term of the leases is five years,
and the usual covenants and agree
ments found in railroad leases are pro
vided.
The Wilmoth Company has already
cleared its warehouse site and it, and
the other lessees, will no doubt have
their buildings completed in the near
future. The U. S. Road Commission
has erected a building on Tract F for
storing its equipment and tools, the
tract having been set aside for this
purpose. The road from Wasilla to
the Willow Creek mining district is
now being repaired and reconstructed
by the Road Commission and it was
necessary that a place be provided for
the storage of supplies in that vicin
ity.
