BAD COAL SMOKE BLACKENS SKY.
NEW YORK STIFLES UNDER HEAVY PALL.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. NEW YORK, January 27. New York city, which has been famous for the clearness of its atmosphere, is now undergoing a radical change, due to the coal strike. Householders, office buildings and factories have gradually been forced to use bituminous coal, as the anthracites stocks are exhausted, until the climax has now been reached that New York is beginning to resemble London. During most of the day the city is now under a black blanket, and lights burn all day in offices usually sunlit. Many citizens, not appreciating the cause, complained of fog. while smoke clouds, rolling from factories, caused numerous inquiries from newspaper offices regarding the location of the “big fire.” The fire, department and the weather bureau were also besieged with questions. The Health Department is now’ investigating, and will endeavour to relieve the situation.
The tops of skyscrapers are invisible.
