COAL SHORTAGE IN NEW YORK. Many Coal Yards Empty. Homes and Manufacturing Concerns Without Coal. Public Schools May Have to Close. Homes and industries in New York were confronted Friday night, says a New York dispatch, with the most serious coal shortage in the city's his tory b'?ccuse of inability to get sup plies across the river on barges from New J rsey tidewater points where thousands are ice-bound. The situa tion, already bad, was greatly aggra vated by Thursday night's storm. An inv.*stigation for th?? fuel ad ministration disclosed that nearly ene half of the city's coal yards are empty while others have only z. few tons on hand. Thousands of families have no coal to Iieat their hon.es and scores of city's manufacturing plants are said to be on the verge of shutting down. It may be nece sary to close most of the public schools. Tales of suffering and sickncss were related also to off icials at the office of the fuel adminis trator by scores of persons. It was explained that about 40,000 tons of coal are now in New Jersey awaiting transfer to New York. The coal hns frozen solid in dumps and coal cars and it cin be shoveled only with the aid of live steam. Fuel administrators held out hope that the shortage would be relieved in 24 hours.
