THREE v. S. DREDGES
BECOME OIL BURNERS
Government Authorizes Change Be-
cause Of Coal Situation.

cause Of Coal Situation.
| Because of the shortage Of coal anC
the coal miners strike the United
States engineers office has received
permission to install fuel burning en-
gines in the dredge boats Wahalak
Gulfport and Pascagoula
Some time ago the request was made
upon the authorities at Washington tc
grant permission to change from coal
to oil. Notice has Just been received
that the request has been granted. The
Wahalak will be the first to use the
oil. The engineers office will keen
close watch on the work and see if il
will be necessary to make any i'm
provements when installing the fuel
burners in the other boats.
A large oil company has recently in
stalled terminals at Mobile and bunker
oil can be supplied at "a reasonable
cost. F. H. Read, assistant United
States engineer, believes it will mean
a great saving in the cost of fuel He
figures that it will save about so cents
a ton in cost. At present about 1900
tons of coal is used every month by
the boats.
Mr.. Read also points out that coal
had to be towed from Mobile to Pas
cagoula and Gulfport. Now, the same
oil company which has terminals at
Mobile is installing terminal at Gulf
port where fuel oil may be obtained.
Work will begin as soon as possible
in making the Wahalak an oil burner.
