The Bureau of Yards and Docks has taken the position that the bill must be made up by a gallonage or by a _ pro-rata share of expenses. The city is not too anxious to bill by gallonage | because they have no meters on |the Navy line now. Then it might be feasible that the city could bill by pro rata.

It is a point which the cit, can get some money in on.
