The United Caucasion Oil Company, Ltd., has completed the laying of an oil pipe 350 metres long at the bottom of the Sea at Haifa. A station on the Sea has been erected for the direct unloading of kerosene, benzine and other lubricating oils from steamers. The station is connected through the pipe to three tanks of a capacity of 500 tons each, especially constructed for that purpose. The pipe is 31/2 inches in diameter; the tanks are situated on the Haifa-Acre road near the shore. It is expected that the first consignment of kerosene which is to be obtained from the Near Eastern Wells will reach Haifa early this month.
It is anticipated that the establishment of these tanks and pipes will greatly reduce the present cost of kerosense and other oils.
The Government has granted every possible facility in the matter.
