The Prs LISE.-Seyeral months ago we
announced that line was being surveyed
from the oil regions Of Pennsylvania to Balti.
more for the purpose Of laying pipe, by
which means the oil could be transported to
navigation at much lower rate than by rail.
road. Since that time several agents Of
those who favor the pipe line and Of those
who oppose il have visited our county, each
endeavoring to win our people over to their
respective sides. The arguments used against
the new company were calculated to turn the
farmers and citizens of the several towns
through which it would pass against it, such
as laying the pipe above ground, the damage
to lands and residences by leakage, the great
stencil which would necessarily arise from the
crude oil, &c. These have been met, on the
other hand by assurances that the pipes
would be placed from to 3 feet below the
surface of the ground that they would be
made of the best boiler iron, one quarter Of
an inch in thickness tested to 1900 pounds
pressure to the square inch, and jointed in
the best manner, and that they would be less
liable 10 leakage than gas pipes and will only
be laid with the consent of the land owners.
We have conversed with residents along the
route and find that very little, if any, obiec-
ton exists to the new enterprise. If success
full, it will be the means of giving work to
large number OF laborers and farmers can
find employment for their teams. 1t will be
a source ofgreat revenue to Baltimore, as by
having the crude oil brought to it direct It's
rehner!es will be constantly employed.
