IK' f New measures of distribution of elec tric energy, as well til conl, to Industrie") of this city and State will be Instituted hortly. according to announcement to- , day by H. L,. Cole, director of conscrva- 'tlon of the State fuel administration. I A J .1 .. . -- , It iuuiuiun ox incip measures is ine only .wy in wnicn coniinueu employment or vaee earners can be assured. Mr. Cole bald. - I He also announced that tho present re- I, atrlctlons on elentor scrlce In large buildings are to be modified somewhat, and that when legislation nendlnc In Congress Is enacted New York's surplus power, amounting to 20.000 kilowatts. .will be diverted to Industries of this district. The fuel conservation director Inade tho announcements while answering crit icisms directed at the fuel conseratlon f measures of this State. nig Power Shortage Here It was charged by the critics that tho measures, here are more Htrlngent than tn other cities and States. Mr. Cole said stringent measures here aro necessary because this city's production of war es- aentlals has Increased more than any pother city in the country. Already, ho Bald, there Is n shortage In power of 120,000 kilowatts. Installation of machinery Is now Colng on and this deficiency In power Will bo overcome, he said "In tho meantime," Mr. Cole con tinued, "in order to ninke possible the selling of war contracts awrrded sev eral months ago, this administration, at the request of other depaitments of the Go eminent. Is cndeaorIng so to dis tribute the consumption of electric energy, as well as coal, by such meas ures as will later be instituted. "These measures will largely lifted the Industrial circles of this city and State. "In no other way can tho dlscmp'oy ment of wage earners be aerted." To Change Ittetator Kulm Regarding the modification of ele vator restrictions, Mr. Colo ald It Is proposed to remove tho time limits on day operations whereby It Is neccssrry for a oar to carry a certain percentage 'of ltd capacity before moving. Where there are four or more elevators in a building, one will be kept out of service, instead of tho prelous ru'c which kept one car in every te shut down. In announcing the plan to uso New Tork's surplus power here, Mr. Colo said many of the fuel administration's critics had alleged New York's fuel conserva- 'tlon measures were extremely light In comparison with the measures enforced ihere. This Is duo to the fact that New York's war work has not been Increased, he said, and that , city, therefore. Is not gripped by a power shortage. Mr. Cole declined to state what new measures of distribution are planned for this State. Two Weeks' Supply for Clubs Clubs In tho city are not to receive more than sufficient coal to last for two l 'weeks ahead, and stores, where part of the building Is occupied by tho store keeper's family, are to be considered as private residences, according to new , rules Issued by the fuel administration XOr tnc guiunnce 01 com uemers. Stores where the owner does not oc cupy part of tho building as a residence are not to receive more than enough coal to last a month, according to the new rules. Persons who have ordered their winter's supply of coal and have already received two-thirds of what they order ed will not receive the remainder until after January 1, 1919, except In the cases of hospitals, orphan asylums, homes for the aged and buildings used for like purposes, the fuel administration announces.
