City---Social Doings of the
Burg.

Sl0nerS nave decided that the ordinance
relating to the storage of oils in larger
quantities than twenty barrels within
the corporate limits must be enforced.
The recent destruction of the Standard
Oil sheds set the commissioners to
thinking, and tests made yesterday as
to the inflamable nature of oils were so
Tar from being satisfactory that this
action was deemed necessary for the
salty OF our immense dock and elevator
system. AT meeting of the board
FRIDAY, resolutions directing the Stand
ard and Northern Pacific companies to
remove all Oil from their docks in eX-
cess or twenty barrels were passed and
proper notices at once served upon the
managing officials. The former COM
pany have at least 10000 barrels piled
upon Its docks, while the latter has an
Immense amount in stock. 1t is quite a
serious matter for both the city and the
companies, and is exciting great deal
OF attention. Elevator men are chiefly
| opposed to the storage of such immense
| quantities of Oil in the vicinity of their
plants, and the recent great fire would
| seem to Indicate that their fears are
well founded. Insurance companies
| say that rates must be raised if the Stor-
| vator men say they will not be driven
from the field. The question thus re-
| solving itself into which must go. the
hire commissioners decided that it could
not be the Best elevator and Clark sys-
| tenn which already had millions of dol
lars invested. The Standard company
| may remove its docks and sheds further
| up the bay, where for years it can con-
| tlnue unnOleSted.
