Arrangements had been made to obtain monthly allocations of fuel from the U. S. Navy, and storage facilities were being prepared. The initial orders for diesel-electric power generating plants had been placed for fourth quarter delivery, and repair parts had been furnished to maintain temporary output of the 75-kw generating plants located at the Jobsite. Several additional 75-kw plants were obtained from Pearl Harbor to augment these temporary power facilities. A similar situation existed regarding refrigeration facilities, and miscellaneous equipment had been purchased and shipped to maintain the eleven 650 cubic foot capacity portable units that were the property of the government on-site at Eniwetok, Requisitions had been placed with U. 3S. Navy at Port Hueneme for walk-in type refrigeration boxes, and these units were scheduled for shipment in early September, Two steam boilers for campsite facilities had also been purchased for September shipment, as well as the necessary replacement parts for the smaller type temporary boilers already located at the Jobsite.
