Strictly government enterprises, ex eopting factories and plants working on government contracts. Public buildings and necessary gov ernment, state and municipal require ments.

On the Monday holidays besides manufacturing plants the following consumers will be forbidden to use coal: Business and professional offices (except to prevent freezing) except those used for government ofes or banks and trust companies and those housing physicians and dentists; wholesale and retail stores and those that sell food: all amusement places and saloons.
