FORTUNATE OTAGO
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, This Day. When questioned concerning the possibility of a coal shortage in Dunedin, one of the city's leading coal' merchants was quite vehement in his statement that the shortage of either Newcastle or West Coast coal had nothing whatever to do with Dunedin. "We are in a fortunate position}" he added. '' Unless ■ the strike troubles spread to this province we do not need to go outside Otago for all the coal we need, not even to Southland. One or two engineering firms, which have been used to Newcastle coal,, may be possible exceptions. It is true that Christehurch is largely dependent on its supply of Newcastle coal, but manufacturers here have been turning out ranges which are specially suitable for quick heating and for burning the coal that lies at our own back door."
