The executive committee OF the oil ex-
change was in session all yesterday fore
noon considering the proposition of clos
ing contract with the owners of the
boat now at Santa Monica TOR the trans
portation OF oil to the north. II could
not be learned whether the deal was
closed or not, but in any event the mat
ter will soon be settled. The boat IN
question arrived at Santa Monica some
time ago, but some delay was caused by
having to wait for the discharge of its
cargo before the vessel could be ms pected
see if it would answer the purposes of
the exchange. It was found that with
some slight changes 1t would serve very
we'll as an oil boat, and the only thing
that now remains 10 to close the contract
with its owners.
The location of the Puento oil ref merry
has not vet been determined, or il so has
not been made known. II is claimed
