OIL FOR FUEL
Boilers at Pettaconsst Pumping
Station May Be Run by Petroleum

The city engineers department, in
thinking seriously about the coal prob
lem. and the question OF keeping the boil
ers going at the Pettaconset pumping sta
tion without too great a cost may be up
TO this department in the near future.
City Engineer Clapp has been studying
for some time a plan TO run the boilers
by burning oil. This Is entirely feasible
at the station. the only question OF con-
sequence being that Of getting the oil to
the station In large quantities.
The road to the station runs under the
Pontiac road and there Is not head room
enough under the bridge for a regular oil
car to run.
Neither can the road be lowered without
great expense and danger. for the pair
of big 3S-inch water mains that supply
the entire city run along the road, and IL
would be necessary TO lower these four
feet, a costly Job and one which, should
IL go wrong, might break the pipes and
shut off the water supply of TIE city
The expense OF raising the bridge and
road above would also be very great.
MIR. Capp said this morning that IL
the price OF coal scared too high, reach
ing figures where IL would be profitable To
burn oil. one OF two plans would prob
ably be adopted Either @ small oil car
would be built and the oil transhipped
from the large ones. gravity being used
10 get the car to the works. and n cable.
probably. to get IL back. or a pipe line
laid.
The matter Is being looked into care
fully and II coal goes much higher steps
will probably be taken TO changing over
the furnaces 10 oil burning.
