WASTE WOOD Ifl COUNTY MAY BE USEDJOR FUEL 35,000 Cords of Wasted Fuel Wood Could Be Secured Annually. . , , . Utilization ol waste wood to Increase the luel supply of Wayne county is a question which has been brought t9 tbe attention of F. S. Bates, county fuel administrator. Mt Bates said Monday that this question may be brought up for discussion at the state meeting of county fuel administrators, to be held tn Indianapolis, Tuesday.

Two well informed Richmond business men are authority for the statement that not less than 35,000 cords cf fuel wood, for the most part waste, could be secured annually In Wayne county without appreciably decreasing the timber acreage. ' One plan for increasing the county's fuel supply by the utilization of waste wood and wood secured from unnecessary trees calls for the commandeering of such supplies,' the worc to be done, under the direction of the fuel administrator by a large crew 'ftt wpod choppers and sawmill rnen The wppd ommandeered wquld he purchased at fair prices and then disposed pf at public wood yards at a price sufficient to. coyer the expense of pbtaipjng the v,ood. Mr. Bates said that up to the presrnt time no definite action has been j taen in regards to making use of waste wood- He believes that eventually some satisfactory plan can be v orked out. Mr. gates states that while in Hagerstown recently he was informed that a number of farmers in that part fif the county are not using the waste wood on thejr farms'," desiring to use only coai as fuel. Those who have given some study of the more general utilization of wood G8 fuel declare that the people would be surprised at the. amount1 of fallen timber that is permitted to rot annually In Wayne county. " Many farmers have become dlsgpuraged over attempting to make use of this fallen timber because of the scarcity of farm labor, These men also assert that In eyery'town in the county there are a : large number of useless frees thai could be used for fuel. ' Kerensky Smuggled Out of Petrograd in Auto Amhufance PARIS, Nov. 12.
