Hchwab announced Into o conservation of thl chnroctor nnrt land stJte Unit "ninny of tho oil n August of thl yoar thnt hi com- Invito tho ntlontlon of public utlll- burriltii: furnace consumo from 10 pur cent to 0 per cent more fuol oil than I tnicosiiury to get tlio roqulred reult, owing to Improper design or carolos control of tho oil flow." Homethlng I lining accompllhod along IIioho line through tho all marketing companies' engineer, hut Mm rhamher believes that activities of this naturo should bo mom wide ly supplemented through Individual Initlatlvn on tho part of consumers. In this connection tho chamber also recommend that further efforts bo mado by tho California oil companies to consorvo fuel oil through tho substitution ot other fuel or power In their own opcrutlon whenever practicable. 2 Incrcaned Production of Oil. (a) Facilitation ot shipments ot oil well supplies nnd materials, no tably casing: Tho chamber of com morco already ha accomplished something In this direction. Further appeals to railway executives and tho Interstate commorca commission nro contemplated by tho vhamber when uver such methods aro necessary. (h) Kncouragemcnt of prospecting for eil: It Is claimed thai uninten tionally tho fcdornl leasing Ian oper ate )o dlscourago oil development on government lands, p ftlculnrly with roM'tct to Individual prospector a dltlngul!.c! frcs; tho larger and well organized companies. If this claim Is found to bo Justified upon furflier Investigation by tho cham ber' legal advisors. It I recommend ed that appropriate efforts will bi made by tho chnmbor toward scur Ing modification of objoctloncble fea tures ot tho laws or regulations In question. (c) Increased recovery trom old oil fields- Tho chief petrploum technologist of tho United States bureau of mines, early durlpg tho current month, stated that "on many old properties In tho eastern fields tho Bmlth-Dunn compressed air pro cess has Increased the recovery from 50 per cent to 100 per cent." and that "It It proves true, as seems to bo tho case, that only 10 to 20 per cent of our oil Is now being recov ered, thero Is no telling how much moro oil may oe brought to tho sur face." Although our oil formations differ from thoso of eastern fields tho chamber believes that the possibility of Inseating yields through this or similar process should be fully ex hausted by California operators In view of their Importance In adding to the oil supply when applied to other localities. (d) Development of tho naval re- aerva oil lands, to a point sufficient to care for all or n part of the navy s current demands: The chamber Is Informed that offers by California operator to develop these lands for the government have been consist ently rofuscd. Thero seems to be no doubt that these lands could meet naval de mands for an Indefinite period. If de veloped beforo drilling on adjacent territory reduces gas pressure nec essary to economic recovery or sub stantially depletes tho supply. However, a vltnl natlonnl policy is In question hero and tho chamber doo not feol justified In offering an opinion as to tho relative merits ot present nnd futuro development ot thoso lands, fo) Changes In well prlcos to stim ulate further tho production of crudo eil: Tho chamber offer no com ment on this possibility. 1'rlco ad vances for 6rmo oil would necessar ily bo roflectod In price Increases for fuel oil. and It Is elementary that thl factor nt some ultimate point would oquallzo supply and demand. 4 Substitution ot Other Oils No tably Mexican, for tho California Preduct: (a) Abroad, particularly for use ot tho navy and merchant marlne: Tho chamber foels Justified In criti cising tho use ot California fuol otl abroad when othor oil Is available, and the selection depends entirely on considerations ot prlco. Mexican oil can now bo purchased at reasonable prices delivered at Moxlcan gulf ports, and tho ultimate prlco Is entirely depondont on tho cost ot transportation to points of consumption. Lack or cost ot oil transportation soem to bo controlling considerations which retard n wider immediate use of Mexican oil nt cortaln points abroad whoro It could bo used to supplant California oil. In the circumstances It Is clear thnt adequate, means ot remodylng these, conditions should receive prompt at tention In appropriate quarters, (b) By direct Importatien: Avail abllltyi of cheaper transportation no no doubt would make direct, impor tation ot Mexlcnji fuel oil to the lfu clflc coast practicable. Tho possl blllty ot such Importation htngos al most entirely on tho laid down nrlce. At present this price' Is pro hlbltive In comparison with tho Cal- ilfornln product If tnnker transporta tion cost Is bassd on shipping board and chartor quotations. Tho chnhmbor re.com monds, ns in a preceding parogrnph, ttint thla method, of Increasing o rconservlng tho supply ot California fuol oil bo moro actively considered.
