DUNEDIN IN SERIOUS POSITION.
(Per Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, May 5
The coal shortage in Dunedin is acute, and coal merchants have decided to limit orders for household purposes to lots of four bags. The Coal Trade Committee urges the greatest economy in consumption, otherwise the public will probably experience serious inconvenience during the cold weather. The City gasworks, which had only two days' supply of coal, has obtained temporary relief as the result of representation to the Munitions and Supplies Department which has arranged for a supply up to 200 tons of Newcastle coal from the Railway Department to keep the works going until the arrival of the Kini at the end of the week. This quantity, will keep the works going for about a week.
