' * • ‘ r -- l ?v ; . • 1 •' ' ! ■ CHRISTCHURCH, July *l2:/ • Uiiless- very special circumstances arise, there- seems to be no need - for any alarm over the coal shortage; which has now been fairly- acute for several weeks. To put the matter briefly, both the work in the AVest Coast mines and the transportation between mine • and sliij) have : been' greatly upset by the earthquake, but production in Hie mines is reaching normal again, and the railways are getting more coal through every day. The situation is being well met in all ways. At present the railway’s part in transporting the coal is the weakest link in the chain.- Coal is collecting at the mine bins through the inability to get it through at a fast- enough speed. - in regard to shipments of coal, tljo first of a 500 ton lot of African cdii'l ■procured in Dunedin, began to arrive yesterday. Greymouth coal is coming through the tunnel in increasing quantities, and a shipment from AA T estport is expected in Christchurch next week.
