 New features as we'll as thor oughly modern outfit in other res poets make the 86-foot cannery ten der Amelie, launched in February for P. F. Harris X Co., and now on her way to the company's cannery at False Pass, Alaska, of special interest to fishermen on the Pacific coast
 The Amelie is heavily built and has accommodate for ten men in the focsle, besides two double state rooms on deck She was designed by l.. F. Geary of Seattle and con- structed by 0. J. Johnson of Port Blakeley She has beam of 1872 feet and in design is similar to the cannery tender MorZhovoi built some years ago for the same com pany.
 The most unique feature about the Amelie is the specially designed electrically operated fish elevator, an idea of MT. J. R. Nichols of P. F.. Harris & Co. By means of this de- vice, the fish will be automatically raised from the hold to point high enough to slide by gravity over the rail and one to the apron of the can- nery elevator. It is believed that l the elevator will enable the boat to be completely unloaded in about three hours with two men working. The Amelie is powered with a 165 hp. Atlas Imperial Diesel engine which, turning a 55x46 inch Hyde propeller, gives the boat speed of about 10 knots. Very complete cleo trical equipment is carried by which not only the anchor, but also the fish elevator and brailing winches are operated. An S.h h.p. Atlas auxiliary Diesel engine operates the generator. All the pumps are driven by elec- tricity.
 Another modern device which is expected to add much to the satis- factory operation of the power plant is a De Laval oil purifier The de vice is placed in the engine room alongside the lighting plant. All lubricating oil is passed through the purifier for the removal of grit, water and other, impurities before being returned to the engine. The small space occupied by this ma chine is 13 by IS inches.

invention is nothing else but ma chine described already a hundred years ago by Perkins. Perkins boiler proved to be impracticable because of the enormous amount of "kettle-stone," or residue, produced which in a short time destroyed the tubes. The only possibility of avoid ing this production of "kettle-stone" was use of distilled water, which would cause such an increase of costs that the ordinary boiler is more profitable.

CONSTRUCTION
IS ACTIVE NOW
AT SAN DIEGO

san DIEGO, Calf, Aug. 6-Ever
though the building permit figures
for July were far greater than fol
the corresponding month of last
year, there is every indication that
the growth Of the city has not vet
reached its peak for this year. At
least two building projects of large
proportion are scheduled to get UNI
der way in the downtown section
within Il few weeks, while two other
projects equally as large are de-
veloping rapidly and promise to cul-
inmate i'll active construction work
long before the close of 1925.
One of the latest developments i'll
the downtown section is the transfer
of the property at the corner of
Sixth and B streets, known rs the
old B street school property. The
new owners have expressed the in
tcntiOn of erecting Il modern bust
ness block on this site in the near
future. The other big project re
Gently announced is the erection of
Il tourist hotel on Point Iona, over
looking Sunset Cliffs.
\ third proposed improvement is
the erection of 10 story office
building at the corner of Third and
c streets. Capital from Los Angeles
and the east is said to be back Of
this and, according to announce
ments already made, actual work
will be started as soon as the ten
ants of the structures now occupy
ing the land can vacatc and the old
buildings removed.
While these are the outstanding
features Of growth so far as the
downtown section is concerned.
there is also great activity in the
development of residential proper
~ around the outskirts of the city
and several new subdivisions are be
ing opened, with many buyers TAX
ing the lots offered. one of these
which is attracting special attcn-
tion is just outside Kensington Park
where Il tract is being opened up
which has many possibilities. This
is 4 restricted district and promis
cS to become one of the most at
trac tive sections, because of the
view afforded and the class of
dwellings to be erected
During July there were 651 per
mitS ISSUED having Il value of over
81 ,j3S,O00. During July last year
Gl3 permits were issued for build
ings having value of $685., 400.
Comparison of these figures shows
that the increase was approximately
one third. The total value of per
mitS for 1925 thus far represents
an outlay of $9,7000000.
