A STUDY Of certain gas-making and fuel problems, peculiar to the gas industry of California, has been made by the Bureau of Mines. In the northern, or San Francisco Bay district, the gas distributed is almost exclusively manufactured by the oil-gas process, using oil as fuel, and in the southern, or Los Angeles district, the gas is, for the most part, a mixture of natural gas and manufactured gas, but oil is the principal fuel used in gas-making when natural gas is inadequate. As all the companies are equipped with apparatus to use oil fuel, the industry desired to know what effect future conditions might have on the process. and what would be the most economical process for future use. if a continued supply of low-priced oil were not available. The work was done in co6peration with the California Gas Research Council, an association of the manufacturers. Basic information was obtained on the gas-making fuels available to California, and the possibility of efficiently utilizing fuels in making gas by other processes than the oil-gas process. The information is being used by the gas industry of California in developing a program for future construction.
