CONTRACT INQUIRIES REPORTED SUCCESSFUL Few Ta ekAdvantage of New Accounts Board Law. Although comparatively little advantage has been taken of provisions of the new law permitting the State boar dos accounts to inquire into public contracts either completed or in the process of construction, the few investigations requested and made have been successful, in the opinion of officials. Fewer than ten investigations have been made, according to Dale Stansbury, counsel in the office of Attorney General U. S. Leah, and in every case the Inquiry has been made before the work was completed. Slight technical defects have been discovered in construction work, the board of accounts has offered advice, and the contractor has been able to make satisfactory change, Stansbury said. Under the new law citizens are permitted to petition the board of accounts for an investigation, when the work is obviously falling below specifications.

Special Coal Bulletin —June 19 Issued by the Commerrfal Credit Audit and Correct Weights Bnrean, 708 Merchants Bank Kid*., Indianapolis. A Message To Thinking Men As every business man knows, the Chicago Journal of Commerce is a recognized authority in its field. it may say deserves the most serious consideration, under the heading, “Another Coal Shortage Impends,” it says in its editorial columns: “Railroad officials are warning of one of the worst car shortages this Fall ever known. Freight movements will be slow and troublesome in a great rußh to bring grains and other commodities Into markets and points of consumption. Congestion promises to tie up cars for certain necessities, par. ticularly coaL “In order to prove the sincerity of their pre> dictions, railroads are laying in vast amounts of coal, so that, when the trying period comes, the carriers will be in a position to relieve the strain by already having fuel on hand.” _ To thinking men this means that lots of people are going to be caught short on coal when cold weather comes. They are making sure of their own safety by ordering their coal now. You can’t go wrong by following their example. t Reliable Coal Dealers are booking orders for immediate or future deliveries. Our advice is to place your orders NOW.
