CHARCOAL SCARCITY

(From Our Special Representative)

Darjeeling, Dee. 26
Charcoal appears to
be in scarcity in Darjee
ling. This is * revealed
from the fact that large
queues of all class of men,
women and children
are seen lined up every-
day at the charcoal shops.
Winter compels these poo-"
pie to leave their homes
in the early hours of the
morning to find a favoura-
ble place in the queue,
to get some charcoal, but
the last ones of the row
can be sure of returing
home disappointed.

It is leant that a
procession marched to the
residence of the Deputy
Commissioner, Darjeeling
& oftheSupdt. of Police,
demanding fair supply of
charcoal. The Deputy
Commissioner having taken
action, the position eased
for a while, but the same
old trouble is being re-
peated now. It is also
learnt that the authori-
ties were moved for esta-
blishing a fair price Char-
coal shop to prevent the
present scramble for it
but no action has been
taken so far._

of whioh the valuation is
made, and by such other
proceedings as are allowed
by law.

ports that tit* working of
