as-i.-.t pen-ona financially unable to
!. cash for their nxt winter's coal
un'J fu'l. and alo to hlp the local
tlalTs in petting ready for the de
riand next winter, plan are belntf
cor.sidere-I for a partial payment
rystem. which, if thy vrnrk out aa
!! as those advancing them think,
will a lon ways toward solving
tome of the ex7ctd fuel problems
h-re. The tentative plans call for
the formation of a. corporation to
operate soTiethinp on the order of a
I uiiding and loan association. All
reputable coal diier3 In the city
nay have an intervs-t. if they desire,
and mn of unquestioned standing
v. wall be. rIacci in charge of the
operation.
The fucrestion has ben rnrde
that th propose! corporation open
a central office. A person desiring
to buy coal on a weekly payments
basis may go to th company, state
the amount of coal desired, name
th dealer from whom he wishes
to purchase, and then l'frln paying
a specified sum weekly to the cor
poration. The amount of the pay
ments would be fixed according to
the amount of o.iI ordered. When
sufficient had been paid in to cover
the cost of two tons of coal that
amount of fuel would he delivered
by the dealer named, and when pay
ments were sufficient for another
two tons delivery wcrvltl be made.
In that way, promoters of the plan
my, the cost would be distributed
fiVf r a lon period, the consumer
would get his coal, or the greater
part of it before cold weather, and
the viraler would know about when
to count on making deliveries. Pre
cautions would be taken to see that
dealers did not acce-pt mor orders
( r contracts from the company than
could be delivered under the plan.
