This estimate eliminates the element of profits, but amortizes the plant costs in nine years. The cost may be further reduced by from three to five cents by the yield of byproducts. Operation of a hydrogenation plant as large as 200 barrels of eil per day is entirely new in the United States. However, there is now in the process of planning, by the contractor and the engineers, connected with government work, a coal hydrogenation plant with 30,000 barrels capacity a day, which would require 13,500 tons of coal per day, according to information received by Dr. Colombo. In commenting on this proposed plant, Dr. Colombo figured what this would mean to this area. To produce the coal alone, at the present rate of five tons per day for each man employed, Would mean 2700 more employees in our mines. This does not take into consideration the number that will be needed in' the processing plant, which Is estimated not less 1,000. Extra railroad em- ployees will also be necessaiy and an extra population of approximately 15,000 people would result from such an operation. In the information released in Washington, plant establishment costs have been tentatively estimated: to produce gasoline and Jiquified gases at $55,670,000; to produce heavy fuel oil, at and to produce light fuel with gasoline and liquid fuel gases, as high as $130,-00- 0. It is interesting to note the estimate that was made for the establishment of a plant in Utah to liquefy Utah coal, to supply fuel equivalent to 5,000 tons of Utah coal delivered to Los Angeles: here are the figures: Coal at plant near mine, $4 00. Electrical energy, 5 mills kwh. Steam, 35c per 1,000 lbs. Amortization, 9 per cent. Gasoline and liquefied gas, lc per lb. Gas at 15c per 1,000 cu. ft. Tar acids, 5c per lb. Cost of transportation via pipe line to Los Angeles, 100 miles for . light fuel 4c per bbl., and for heavy fuel 8c per bbl. The study showed that a price differential was 30 per cent in favor of coal against fuel oil. . $63,-000,0- Vi Three new youngsters arrived at the Dragerton Hospital this past week.

According to Dr. Colombo, information from Washington indicates a thorough study of the processes involved in the future of oil, and that these are closely allied to the Utah coal fields. Early studies indicate that we have already far exceeded the work of the German scientists during the last war: In the German 'plants, an efficinecy of 30 per cent was attained in the extraction of oil, while already it is predicted that the efficiency of the American processes will exceed 50 per cent.
