The situation IN the oil industry re.
mains unchanged. No important trans

change, although the corporation is now
pushing the matter of closing a contract
with the transportation companies.
Orders for oil still continue to come
from the north. but none of them are
filled or will be accepted until shipment
can be made by sea.
The continuous pumping OF wells, with
only partial relief furnished by the To-
cal demand, necessitates ths erection of
new storage tanks, and they are being
put up all over the field. A large one is
now being built by the Oil Burning and
Supply company on Court street, near
Edgsware road.
Another pumping plant is to be con-
structed soon on the corner OF Belmont
avenue and Council street, by G. W.
Gibbs.
McCray g. Warning are preparing to put
down new well on Park place, near
Temple street.
