Coal prices In Portland were set yes
terday by Fuel Administrator Holmes
after several days of careful examina
tion of the books of dealers In the city.
Alex C. Rae. expert accountant, was
placed on fuel records and a complete
audit was made, with the result that
the announced prices of coal delivered
at the curb in the city of Portland are
well within the Federal regulation,
which provides for an advance of SO
per cent over the gross margin of profit
for dealers in 1915.
The prices made yesterday are maxi
mum prices to consumers, and provide
for delivery of coal at the curb. Here
tofore Portland consumers have re
ceived coal delivered in their basements,
but the fuel administration, after com
puting the permitted profit allowed by
the Government, deducted . on every
grade of coal an amount representing
the cost of placing the coal In the
basement from the curb. This was done
In the spirit of economy, for the man
who wishes to store his own coal In his
basement can do so and save the
amount that he has heretofore paid for
this service to the dealer.
The schedule of prices made prevails
until there is either an Increase or de
crease of prices ot coal at mines.
Center of zone Is Burnside bridge.
Each additional half mile beyond the
twomils limit increases the cost 26
cents. Extra charge for delivery will
be made where grades are exceptionally
steep. Following is the schedule:

"the spirit that has carried the univer

existence and has developed the Insti

the leading colleges of the United
States."

Tacoma Dealers Oppose Suggestion
of Food Administrator
TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 24. (Special.)
Tacoma poultry dealers assert that
they cannot handle turkeys on a mar
gin of 2 to 5 cents wholesale, as sug
(tested by Charles Hebberd, state food
administrator. The jobbers contend
that they are entitled to a 10 per cent
profit for doing business and point out
that any loss caused by bruising,
shrinkage and the like must be borne
by them.
Turkeys will open wholesale on the
Tacoma market at 34 cents a pound.
ana it is not expected that retail deal
ers will shave the price below 40 cents.
Reports from Oregon, one of Tacoma's
big drawing sections, say that there
will be an abundance of turkeys this
year of excellent quality.
