F o u r car loads of fuel oil are on the siding, w aiting
to have the oil pum ped into the reservoir. It gets so
chilled com ing over the m ountains from C alifornia
th a t much delay is occasioned by reason of it m oving
so slow ly thro u g h th e piping from the pum p at siding
to the tan k in rear of cam pus. U nless a portable
boiler is installed w ith w hich to attach to the coils in
th e car end th u s heat th e oil by steam heat, we will
have no little trouble all w inter to force the thick oil
th ro u g h th e pipes and at the sam e tim e be at no little
expense in paying th e d em urrage charges on cars.
Steps, how ever, are being taken to install a boiler.
