Those to whom the impending fuel
oil shortage presents serious prospects

will he pleased to know that a short
age of oil next winter is by no means
so certain as it appeared a week or
two ago. on the contrary there is a
strong probability that enough oil can
be obtained to meet at least all the
ordinary re«tuirements of the camp.
Information to this effect was laid be
fore the last regular meting of the
city council Monday by <*hairman
Burgh of the special committee ap
pointed by the Council to investigate
the situation.
Councilman Burgh reported that
therei s a good prospect that a suffi
cient supply of oil would be available
for winter use, stating that an oil
ship would probably be sent to Dutch
Hahbor and Nome by one of the oil
companies to supply the demand at
both points.
