Realizing that no definite action forward could be taken on the Port Of Bridgeport project until the all dermen of this city. selectnen Of Stratford and the Har'bor Committee of the Chamber of Commerce reached an agreement on the substitute bill to be handed the legislature in place of the one rejected by the people of Stratford, a communication from the Chamber of Commerce was introduced in last meeting of the Board of AL dermen. asking for the appointment of a committee from this city, and one from Stratford to confer with the Chamber of Commerce committee.
 The communication was as follows: At Q meeting of the board of di- rectors of tho Chamber of Commerce, held Monday, February 24, 1t was voted to request the Board of Alder men of the city of Bridgeport and the selectmen of the town of Strat- ford to appont a committee of five from each place to confer with the Chamber of Commerce committee on the Port of Bridgeport and harbor improvement to see If there may be any further objections to the Port of Bridgeport bill, as amended. We would further greatly appreciate it if your honorable body could see fit to investigate this matter which the di- rectors deem of the greatest value to both of the communities mentioned
 On motion of Alderman Blake ce. the same committee appointed to cp- pose the original bill at Hartford, AL derrnsn MacFayden, NfdManus, Ham ilton and Cornell, was appointed to attend the conference.

 Thus far it has been built chiefly in snnall-tonnage freighters running at
 moderate speed These have been
 highly successful economically; but there are still certain shortcomings in machinery and organization to be
 dealt with
 The Diesel engine must be freed of some defects that have appeared un- der the stress of ocean voyages, and must also be built in larger units to furnish greater horsepower for bigger ships running at higher speed Ina problems are now entirely questions of engineering, and American ingenu- ity should prove adequate to develop the fast motor liner for passenger traffic
 ! This type of engine was invented 1 by pr. Rudolf Diesel, a Bavarian en- gineer. The difference between an automobile engine and a Diesel en- ' zine is, generally. that all the fuel in an automobile engine cylinder is burnt at once, while in q Diesel en- zine it is burnt gradually. and so
 gives power more like the steam en- i sine. Air is compressed in Diesel ! cylinders under great pressure. and then the fuel. consisting of crude pe- 1 troleum or other l-@avy oils. is forced into the compressed air by greater 1 outside pressure. This raises the tenn Perature for the air in the cylinder and turns the oil into q ras

CCOntinued from Yesterday The Economy of OIL.

Anyone who has made a voyage through the Tropics will find it inter esting to contrast this sort of ship with his recouecUons of coaHng incl dents. If his voyage was through the Suez Canal to Australia or India for instance, he remembers the terrific heat and how only Chinese cDcIea can stand the temperature of the fire hold; and how the ship was cOaled at Port Said oy hundreds of women car rying baskets of fuel. Neither the
 motor ship nor the OiI-burning steamer requires coaling. The engine room of a motor ship need be a little
 warmer than the deck in the TropiC; and, besides there is probably only one man attending the engines, and he is not performing hard manual la Dor nor is he in dirty surroundings
 The boiler room of an oilburning steamer can be 25 degrees cooler than if coal were burned under the same boilers. For most of the heat in a fire hold comes from opening the fur mace doors to throw in coal. There are no furnace doors when oil is burned With coal. heat escapes every time the furnace door is opened and is lost for making pur- poses. With oil, there is no furnace door to open and all the heat is used for steam making

The coal burner needs i 27 tons of coal daily. or 65- tons fy. 1 the voyage. The oil burner needs i 16.T tons of fuel daily. or 859 tons for l the voyage. A coal burner carries
