Briefly. the plan as outlined by oil ex-
perts of the bureau is to take the So
called wet gas" found in all the oil
fields and obtain. from it liquefied
gas that can be used for Illuminating
purposes. This liquefied gas, which is
by-product of the natural gas, is
held under high pressue in steel con-
tainers and can be shipped to local.
ties that do not have gas system.
In this way small towns, hotels and
country estates may have the advan-
tage of gas illumination at fair cost.
This gas, it is thought. will also prove
an excellent illuminant for Light
houses, lightships and other public
works of similar nature that must be
located at a distance from CONNER
cial supply Of gas.
