1T is expected that the extension OF the

Upon the publication Of the proposed
ordinance by The NiiEinian, there was
Immediately raised Il strenuous and
unanimous objection on the part OF
Wholesale dealers and others handling
oil, against, the provisions OF the ordi-
nance.
The Merchants ana Manufacturers
Association and Wholesale Grocers'
Association met and passed resolutions
opposing It's passage ana appointing
committees to go before the Councils
ana protest. It was charged that the
ordinance was directly in the interests
or the Standard Oil people: that it
would ruin the oil business Of the job
bers; and that 1t was generally unjust.
In order to ycntiate the matter
thoroughly, The Nirainian yesterday in

members Of the committee and asking

that | am In favor Of tho ordinance
want light on the subject and wish
the merchants had come forward ana
given us information along this line
when we asked for it,"
IT was at my suggestion that the
matter was laid over from time to time
III the Councils and also that All nflvcr-
tisement was inserted in the newSpa-
pers, requesting merchants to appear
before the COMMITTEES and state their
position"
The Norfolk Virginian. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 186?-189?, 1897-03-04

Mr., Il. Henry Jones, Chairman Of the
flre Committee. has been designated
by some as the father Of the ordinance.
He was asked to explain his connection
with the measure. which he did as fol-
lows:
"All this talk about my being tho ia
Their OF the ordinance is untrue AT a
meeting OF the Fire Committee some
time ago, the matter Of the reckless
storage Of oil was brought up, and
CHIEF Ryan Of the Fire Department
cited instances of places where as high
aS - or 20 barrels OF gasolcne was slor-
ed in buildings OH Church street, and
also he stated, that there were some
places where rs high as 900 gallons Of oil
were stored In tanks ar.
The Chief told OF one place where
a kerosene lamp was suspended over q
tank IN order to furnish light by which
TO draw oil therefrom at night Mr.
Ryan asked If there were no ordinance
regulating the storage Of oil in the
city. I promised him that at the next
meeting Of the Council T would intro
duce a resolution looking to the framing
OF some ordinance covering this uues-
lion. All I did, when the Council met.
was simply to introduce a resolution
instructing the Ordinance Committee
TO prepare an ordinance regulating the
storage, of oils. etc. That was all.
made no recommendation. The matter
was then LETT entirely In the hands
Of the Ordinance Committee. of course.
Il understood that the ordinance
framed was more for the purpose Of in
wiling discussion. and in this, 1t seems
to have been successful. The matter
VIII come up at the next meeting OF
the Council, and full discussion from
all standpoints will probably result in
an ordinance which will protect the city
without being unjust to any one
e
Mr.. J. D. Addington, n well-known
broker, who has been extensively quoted
as opposed to the ordinance, and as
stating that 1t was in the interest of the
Standard OIL company, could not be seen
personally, but left word for The Vir-
Elnian representative that he preferred
not to say anything on the subject
at present. His attitude, however, is
known 10 be in opposition to the meas
ure in all It's aspects.
