whose interest it is to convey the oil out Of the
direct path, thus adding to the cost Of every
gallon.
Before proceeding to other points in this de-
monstration it may be we'll to inform the reader
that the system Of underground pipes for the
conveyance Of crude oil from the wells to the
reflncries is no new thing. Coincdent with tile
discovery Of oil it was seen that such method
Of transportation was the cheapest and most
convenient that could be devised. he first cost
of apparatus by this system might be considera.

nominal. II oil can carry itself what need of

in use would scarcely be exchanged for cum

The advantage Of the oil pipes was seeu in the
beginning OF the petroleum production, and thi.

Allegheny Co. was exempted by special legisla
tive enactment from such privilege, and the do.
sign thereof il clear. The Pennsylvania Central
desired the profit OF transporting the oil for al
great distance as possible The present agita-
lion arises solely from the effort making to re.
move the restriction against the pipe system in
Allegheny Co. thus allowing oil to be carried in
to Pittsburg by the underground method.
Now what are the simple rights OF this mat
| ter? The question is not what il the interest
| Of the Pennsylvania Central, but what conduces
to the greatest good Of the greatest number ?
The public does not care how the oil is conveyed;
| it is only concerned in getting it ~ cheaply as

minimum of cost should be reached in all article
