The fact was first published in The DIS
PATCH week ago that the Producers Oil
Company, which is an issue Of the Pro
ducers' Protective Association, had CON-
menced to lay its pipe line from Coraopolis
to the Mcdonald field This statement was
Indignantly denied by contemporary, but
nevertheless the new organization has since
been pushing the work and inside of couple
of weeks should have its line in operation.
The rights of way have all been secured,
and pipe has been strung over half Of the
distance, while nearly two miles of it has
been put together. There will be two pump
stations, which are in course of construc-
tion, one on the Ewing farm just east of
Gregg station, and the other on the Mevey
farm, half mile northeast of Nc
Donald station. Two receiving tanks
and loading rack will be COM
pleted at Coraopolis next week.
The same company's refinery at Heat
place will be finished before the first of the
year, and the new pipe line will be an es-
tablished institution.
The new line was measured up yesterday
and its total length will be about Is miles,
ten miles from Coraopolis to the Ewing
farm pump station, and four and nine
tenths miles from the Ewing to the Mevey
farm station. 1t is the intention to ship oil
East in tank cars from Coraopolis over the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad.
