SCARCITY Of OIL
CAUSES CONCERN
City Officials Believe, However. De-
mand VIII he Met and Emergency
Overcome,

Superiutenden ". +. Knowles. OF the
city gas works, said yesterday, that
no matter what the apparent emer-
gency may be just at this time he had
no fears that the city would be en-
barrassed by shortage OF gas. The
fact that there was no bidders for sup
plying the city with gas oil. while
significant of the fact that big pro-
ducers are not looking much for bust
ness. he felt that before the present
contract runs out. there will have been
found a way to supply the demand.
The Standard Oil company has been
supplying the city's needs for several
years, and he feels that the company
will he there when the time comes.
Members of the board and the super
intendent will, however. confer with
the fuel administration. with the idea
of getting some solution of the diffi-
Guilty. 1t is not believed by any of the
officials concerned that the govern
ment will permit the city to go with
out its supply of gas.
Many hundreds of thousands gallons
of the oil will be needed for the com
ing year, which begins on September
l. 1t rs believed by the city officials
that the oil company will continue
to supply oil under the prevailing con-
tract until satisfactory arrangements
can be made.

Method of Getting Grease from
Sewage

For the past three years Professor
Robert Spur Weston, of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology. has
conducted experiments in the recovery
of grease from sewage sludge. As
result of these experiments a process
ia now embodied in workable form
which consists of recovery through
precipitation OF the sewage by the use
Of an acid, the grease then being re-
moved and the residue sold for fer
tilizer. Culphur dioxide, as solvent,
is used to precipitate the grease, Sui
phur dioxide is such strong disin-
fectant that the treated sewage con-
tains few bacteria. More than Fl per
cent OF grease Is recovered from the
dried sludgc, and In addition 1900
pounds of fertilizer base per million
Ealions Of sewage. 1t Ia estimated
that the cost Of treatment is low and
yields . IS per cent pront
