which cannot be converted through
the use of grates. Can I buy a new
boiler that will burn coal, and have
It Installed?
A. No. A new boiler cannot lie
sold except to defense manufacturing
plants and others having priority
ratings (A-10 or letter). Persons
who have boilers that can't be converted
should take ste|is to conserve
fuel oil by insulation, etc.

inefficient. Can 1 buy a new oil
burner, and thus save oil?

equipment.

of these Is fired with oil and the
other with coal. Is used only in severe

oil is prohibited to anyone who has
standby equipment unless that equit>tnent
