.HARBOR BOARD WILL
CEASE BUYING HOSE

The harbor board yesterday decided
to discontinue its practise of buying
the oil hose that connects the end of
the pipe line and the vessels loading
fuel, and will notify the oil companies
that they will be called upon to fur,
nish the hose, when that now in use
is worn out.
This hose is expensive, and while it
lasts a long time the board feels that
it made false step when it bought
the first supply at $3.50 each for the
three or four pieces.
Several other more or less routine
matters were taken up and disposed of
during the meeting. The question of u
spur track on Pier Is brought up SO
many things that the board decided Ia
lay it upon the table until the next
meeting, in the mean time taking the
matter up with shipping companies and
the railroad people.
