nicia and Porta Costa. Since that time
they have been able to determine more
in detail cocerning the results. On the
Thoroughfare they saved $1,000 in the
cost of fuel in the five months they were
using oil as compared with the five
months of the same season last year when
they We're burning coal. Besides saving
Al per cent in actual fuel, they got rid of
al saving of $40 per month. On the So
lano there is not so much saving, the
cost being lessened but II per cent. She
makes short trips, and they burn the fu-
ell while she is in the slip to generate ne
cessary steam. The oil costs $1.70 per
40-gallon barrel, or about four cents per
gallon.
1t is estimated by the engineer of the
big Water Witch, which is also using oil,
though of a somewhat different kind
from that used by the railroad company,
that 100 gallons of oil are equal to one
ton of coal, which latter costs about 81
per ton. The Oakland ferry boat Pied
mont has just been altered so as to use
the liquid fuel. She has not yet been at
work under the new system, but will be
in a few days. The oil is sprayed under
the boiler by steam jet, and supplied
by suitable tanks. y supply tank is kept
on the wharf, so that the oil may be led
into the steamers tanks. The supply
tank is filled from tank cars, so there is
no handling. There is no smoke, nor SCOT,
and, of course, no ashes. 1t is stated
that in addition to the lower cost of the
liquid fuel the services of Is firemen will
be dispensed with on the Piedmont. The
mechanical alterations to effect the
change of system are slight. The other
ferry boats will be changed to burn oil
shortly.

we condense the following interesting
facts concerning the financial condi-
tion Of the State

OF the $3.50, 900 irredeemable State

its payment were s24O,2i6 IS.
The average expense OF the State
government for the two years was

The Controller says the 30 cents
State tax cannot be safely reduced and
gives solid reasons for the statement,
reviewing each fund tn prove 1t. He
believes State Board OF Equalization
Is needed to remedy existing evils in
taxation and shows that the G. p.
X. II. il taxed anywhere from l0,OO0
to 1i6, 200 per mile in different coun-
ties. It's main track is assessed on an
average of SlI,il8 per mile and Its
land only 81 IS. The total value Of
C. P. r. property IN Nevada is &c.
55i ,6is 90.
A study of the condition of the sew
ersl counties is very interesting. For
instance we lind that Lincoln county

on hsnd. It's rate of taxation is % rs
