California oil industry reshapes national naval fuel plans
A San Francisco dispatch reports Admiral Robley Evans declares Pacific coast oil will fuel future navies and merchant fleets, announcing California Consolidated Oil Company buys Mascot Premier and Yellowstone properties producing over 150000 barrels monthly. He argues oil can replace coal, lowers costs, reduces accidents, and supports a vast Pacific fleet. He urges rapid coast shipbuilding and aluminum and iron output to capitalize on oil fuel.
