OUTPUT OF COAL
ADVANCE IN SEPTEMBER CONSUMERS ASKED TO STORE (By Telegrapn.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday The Minister of Mines, the Hon. P. C. Webb, announced a further gain of 19,000 tons in coal production in September compared with September, 1939. In the first nine months of the calendar year production was 139,000 tons higher than the comparative period of 1939. Allowing for floods and slips in the first three months of this year, reducing production to 35,000 tons below the comparative figure last year, the real gain in production in the past six months had been 174,000 tons. Mr Webb said every suitable place for storing large coal would have to be used, and householders in this country as in England, could help by making at home a small store of cual for use next winter. He urgently appealed to all householders to assist in this way in the summer months.
