BOARD DELAYS ACTION
ON ELEVATOR PROTEST
Snfcly Cniuinitlcc Will Invcs
tigalc Criticism of Fuel
Saving Order
Protests of business men against fuel
administration restrictions on nassenser
elevators will not be. acted upon by the
executive committee ot the State Com
mittee of Public Safety, pending a
searching Investigation.
Ilepresentatlvcs of several business es
tablishments conferred with the com
mittee this afternoon In the Olraril
Trust Building, and requested that a
protest against the order be made. The
business men contended the small amount
of coal saved lly the limited elevator
service did not Justify the loss of time.
In one building alone, the business
men says isno bouts a week are lost
to the occupants at the price of saving
three tons of roal.
Four other large otllee buildings
within a radius of one block each have
two elevators Idle. It Is estimated that
3000 working hours are lost every week
because of the restricted service.
Computing the value of the time, the
huilness men argue that not les than
$4000. of the community's wealth Is
wasted each week In saving twenty-seven
tons of coal.
