IN AND ABOUT STEELTON HOUSING PROBLEM GROWING SERIOUS Committee May Meet Soon to Discuss Relief in Con ditions Here Declaring the scarcity of houses in the borough is alarming, K. C. Hen derson, chairman of the housing committee of the Municiiil League said a meeting of the committee may ho called soon to discuss conditions and make provisions for relief if feasible. Mr. Henderson pointed out that personally he knows of the need of twenty-five homes and that many more are needed. No relief is V sight he declared and some dras tic measures must be taken to rem edy this condition. Residents agree that adequate dwellings have been needed here for several years and because of the war building operations were prac tically halted. At the present time there is no indication of any dwell ings going up and residents forced to vacate their dwellings because of transferral of real estate are com pelled to move, out of the borough, businessmen declare. Just what the Solution to the prob lem will be could not be learned. In fact businessmen and league offi cials are at a loss to find a solution l to the problem. At this meeitng, i which, it is understood, will be held 1 shortly, the situation will be re-1 viewed and some arrangements made 1 for meeting the demand of renters.

RARRISBTJRG o£§|& TELEGRAPH RAILROAD NEWS CONSERVE COAL IS NEW ORDER Federal Director Tells of Sup ply, But Wants Everybody to Economize A further statement affecting coal s "PPIy was issued to-day from the office of William Elmer, superinten dent of the Philadelphia division. It came from L. W. Baldwin, regional director for Allegheny division, and is as follows: "In view of the extended period of reduction in (he amount of bituminous coal produced, orders have been issued to-day prohibit ing the granting of permits for coal for industries not listed in the first five priorities of the United States h uel Administration. "It is essential that the amount of coal at present in hand and that now being mined, be conserved with the utmost care. To this end permits will only be. granted for coal for in dustries within the confines of the first five priorities, and then only when through proper investigation, it has been ascertained that such coal is vitally needed. . . . These priority classifications are; Priority ClassifleutlonM "A—Railroads and bunkering for inland coastwise vessels; B—Army and Navy, together with other de partments of the Federal Govern ment; C—State and county depart ments and institutions; D—Public utilities; E—Rgtail dealers. "In order to meet the urgent de mands for bituminous coal in the central western, northwestern and southwestern region's, orders have also been issued to divert westbound over the lines of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroads, some of the coal mined in the east ern section of the Allegheny region, for distribution under the first live priority classifications. . . . For the present no reduction in pas senger train service is contemplated, and every effort will be made to keep in operation the schedules now In effect on the railroads throughout the Allegheny region.
