cAal Burned by steam.hIp..

There are many ships which burn from 100 to 800 tons of coal per day, the lowest consumption being when the vessel is going at moderate rate. War vessels do not consume so much in proportion as swift passenger steamers which ply between Europe and America. for, unless in an emer gency, they are not driven at the high est attainable speed. The ocean pas senger steamers often burn from 2,500 to $500 tons during passage lasting six or seven days.

special assessment incident to the CON
struction Of a sewer in 3Sth street below
WoudIay lane. In her protest she said
