Our ToWn:Heating System

During cold snaps, the four In TOM VINO have
this business Of heating houses most on their minds
Oscar Zoe11ner, engineer, his two assistants,
Noble Anderson and Ronald Rittingam, and Clarence
McNamee, who drives the oil trucks.
The oil to heat Greenbelt homes is delivered at
the Branchv1e siding in lO, 600 gallon tank cars;
it is then stored there In four II 900 gallon tanks.
LII. Mcl!amee works night and day, on Sundays, too
transporting the Gil from the Branchvi11e storage
tanks to the 10 underground storage tanks here in
Greenbelt which supply indivi dual burners. Life Is
not without its rewards; lhr. McEamee only works
ing mains are then stopped wi tn valve and the
plants heat only domestic water.
Greenbelt's annual oil budget comes to approxi-
mately $50, 900. An additi onal s., ZOO goes for
maintenance and salaries. For the year ending De-
ceuber q the cost of fuel uni about
$75 each, while the apartment units cost average
of $26 each for the year.
Mr.. Zoellaer and his assistants have the di fiji
cult engineering job of usting and balancing the
controls of Greebelt's complex heating system
In its third year of operation. From $3.50 in the
morning until midni t the work in shifts, checking
controls taking tests, cleaning burners, and seeing
to Complaints. Sundays they special call.
Like Mr.. Mcfanee, their duties considerably
lighter in warm weather.
There 57o houses in town grouped in l28
buildings, and II apartment houses containing 3o6
units in all. Each and each apartment building
has Its individual oil burner. In the of the
houses, each family unit has, in add ton, its
80 gal Lon water tank for domestic use, heated by
separate line from the boiler. This prevents
etravagant hot water from draining her ned gh
boris supply. The apartment water tanks have 500
gallon capacity and the water they cont cir kept
at temperature between 1902 and 17oo. This L.
faucet temperature of between 1852 and LOO,

clock. During this time the circulates through
the radiator by grav and air in through the
water mains. This clock is stopped however during
coolest weather and the pumps continually.
During cold spells this year the houses have been
burning approximately 5000 gallons of oil dai ~,
the apartments about l, 500. The annual count is in
the neighborhood Of one million gallons for the
