AT A VERY SPECIAL PRICE Makes Informal Study : :

Mr. Deluse said he had requested the committee to study specifically the smoke problems. of local commercial and industrial plants. The chairman also said he had made an informal study of the possibility of smoke reduction by wider use of smokeless fuels, mainly coke. The study had shown, he said, that at full capacity, the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility could produce only “|enough coke to meet less than a fourth of the city’s total fuel demand during a year. “It would appear that some other method of abatement must be sought than the wider distribution of coke,” Mr. Deluse said. “However, we will by no means abandon the possibility of abating the nuisance by this

o method but will merely emphasize The War FE / f D r ove Ou IM usi C the importance of other methods, ) such as education and police and fire department inspections.”

Sometimes old friends invited Mr. Singer to play. Then the other night they asked him for a Chopin nocturne.
