Show 162 2911 ) . In order to meet the anticipated ( require require- require ) ments for transportation , the road was surveyed ( Vol . 16 , p . 2962 , Exhibits 462 , 4631 464 , 464a , , and 464b ) and also a pipeline ( Exhibit ( 461 161 ) ) . ( Mr Air ) . Aurand , an engineer for the Midwest ( Refin Refin- Refin ) ing Company ( Vol . 7 , p . 1338 ) , also investigated the question of navigability of the river and ( re- re ) jected it ( Vol . 7 , p . 1368 , 1376 ) as a means of ( trans trans- trans ) portation . ( Mr Afr ) . Prommel , another engineer of wide ( experi ex-peri- experi ) ence ( Vol . 5 , p . 989 ) ( investigated hivestigated ) the transportation problem and concluded that , in the event the field turned out to be a producing one , it would be more economical to construct a road than to rely upon the river transportation ( Vol . 5 , p . 1007 ) . In the last year , the barge of the ( Moab Aloab ) Garage Company has only made a few trips and ( undoubt- undoubt ) edly in the ( near uear ) future , it will be dismantled ( be- be ) cause there is no further use for it . During the oil excitement , and ( from froin ) time to time since then , the Moab Garage Company has operated small power boats for compensation . The ( difficul- difficul ) ties attending the operation of boats of this ( char- char ) acter were marked on account of the change and shifting of the sandbars in the river . ( Vol . 6 , p . 1187 ) One of the boats was used by Lt . Col . E . J . Dent in his examination of the section of the river between Moab and the mouth of the Green River . His experience is typical of that of other persons who have attempted to operate power boats upon the river . ( Vol . 7 , , p . 1217 et seq . ) |
