HOW A MILLION A YEAR
COULD BE SAVED ON OIL.
The Government Ownership Project
Which Is Under Consideration.

Ia consequence Of an investigation
disclosing the advantages OF oil equip
ped battleships Secretaries Daniels
and Lane, Chairman Pndgctt OF the
house naval affairs committee and
others have been comforting over a
project for government ownership OF
oil lands and pipe lines for furnishing
the navy with its own fuel. Rear Ad-
miral Griffin, chief OF the bureau OF
steam engineering, has died with the
house naval committee statement
outlining the project with recon-
mendations.
Because OF the Increased cost OF oil.
which naval officials say has gone up
90 per cent during the past year, with
the navy multiplying the consumption
and the oil companies multiplying the
price" plans are under way for max
ing the navy independent OF oil com
panies by rcserving lands or acquiring
them and by developing its own oil re
sources
Besides oil lands In Oklahoma. OH
cials IN Washington have considered
government lands in California, though
IL IL suggested that these might in
volve title litigation. Admiral Griffin
suggested the Usage lands In Okla
homa, adding that there are also unde-
yeloped oil lands in Alaska.
The admirals statement says that II
the government should produce It's
own oil II could have the largo pipe
line transportation profit by building
its own pipe lines. The saving. com
pared with present conditions, would
be from Sl.O00,ooo upwards annually.
A S5000O0 appropriation to lease IN
quarter section OF highly probable
land is recommended "a n beginning.
The navy during the last fiscal year
used 100000 barrels OF oil. Under war
conditions, the statement says. there
might be periods when we would be
using at the rate of Ave or six times
that quantity
Probably the most logical method
OF beginning operations in California
is TO await the outcome OF the present
suits FOR recovery OF oil lands. and IN
ease OF decision favorable TO the gov
eminent to take ever the developed
lands which may revert TO the gov
eminent as additional portions Of the
navy petroleum reserves"
