COAL STOCKS
HOSPITAL POSITION EMERGENCY SUPPLY The fact that only two weeks supply of coal was on hand as an emergency supply caused concern among members of the hospital board on Thursday. The chairman said that stocks came to hand regularly and he thought it inadvisable to contact the .authorities until the position appeared to be a little desperate. Mr McCready declared this was the wrong attitude. In the event of .a strike or disruption if the board was caught “on the wrong leg” where would they be? The hospital’ was very important and he felt that it should not have such a light emergency supply of coal.
Mr Mullins stated that a phone •call to the authorities in regard to supplying coal had always achieved results when were available. The board had been allocated a lon of coke per week.
