Milan Worries Over Coal Supply

MILAN WORRIES OVER COAL SUPPLY

The Wabash Railroad co. is selling coal at cost to its employees in Milan. To others there the fuel question is becoming a very perplexing problem. No anthracite coal has been received in Milan for about six weeks. Bituminous coal is selling for $6 per ton. Farmers having wood to sell have put the price up in proportion to the price asked by the operators for coal.

W. P. Lamkin, a local coal dealer, had a car consigned to him from Scranton Dec. 30, but it has not come in yet. The Milan Lumber and Coal Co. bought a car of coal through an Ann Arbor dealer, which was shipped from Buffalo the first of the year, and that has not arrived and there are poor prospects of its coming In for some time yet.
