NEED ANOTHER TANK
OIL PRODUCERS TRUSTEES TO IN
CREASE TANKAGE ROOM
The Market Continues Steady With
Fair Prospects For Marked
Increase in Rates

The oil producers trustees held an
important meeting at their quarters in
the Baker block yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was a continuation of one
called for Wednesday last to consider
proposition to increase the storage facil-
tiles by building a new tank. The trus-
tees were unanimous in their decision to
increase the tankage capacity and an
order was given to the Lacy Bros Man
ufacturing company of this city for
Sc, 700 barrel tank, to be finished on or
about the middle Of February.
The tank plant of the Producers, when
finished according to present plans, will
represent an expenditure of $4,000. The
storage capacity will represent oil val
ued at more than 100000.
During the week just closed the Pro-
ducers have contracted to deliver to
firms in the city of Los Angeles about
125, 900 barrels of oil. Contracts have al
ready been entered into with San Fran
cisco parties for &C, 900 barrels during the
next few months. A contract for a sim
liar quantity is being negotiated with
consumers in San Francisco, deliveries
to be made at stated periods during the
coming six months.
The demand for oil, both local and
foreign, is steadily growing and the
Producers are estimating that the i'm
mediate demand will be at least $1,000
barrels a month. Pending negotiations
will swell this quantity to more than
10000 barrels month.
In order to get an idea of the amount
of oil that is being handled daily, be-
tween the wells and storage tanks, it
may be stated that eighty tank wagons
of an average capacity of 900 gallons
each are being constantly engaged in
the work of hauling the oil. Ordinarily,
tank wagon, provided with four horses
makes three or four trips day. In ad-
dition to this about 1000 barrels of oil
daily are conveyed through pipe lines
from wells to the tanks of many local
consumers, the Santa Fe company re-
ceiving most of it's oil in this manner.
One of the two tanks already in use
by the Producers is now over half filed
and the second tank will begin receiv-
ing oil week from Monday. 1t is esti-
mated that the full present storage ca
pacity will have to be reserved to protect
local contracts after March next.

TWO YOUTHFUL THIEVES
Mere Boys Commit Burglary and
Confess When Captured

Patrolman Robbins made a capture

Weekly Report Of the Auditor-Rec-
concentrations of the Finance
Committee-City HALL Notes

City Auditor Nichols has completed his
report on the condition of the various
city funds at the end of the first six
months of the fiscal year and the propor-
tion of expenditures to the total amount
appropriated. Yesterday he filed with
the city clerk the following letter, which
was accompanied by the report, OF which
the figures given are a recapitulation:
To the Honorable City Council: Gentle
men-IIerewith l beg to submit report
relative to the expenditures of the various
departments for the first six months of the
present fiscal year. Before compiling this
report l carefully compared the demand
register of each department with my books.
This report is so compiled as to enable you
at glance to determine as TO whether
each department is keeping within, Its al
lowance. yet you will observe that this
rule of a division of the total allowance
will not always hold. as by the nature of
the duties of some of the departments their
expenditures are not regular.
This Is particularly true as to the as
SCISSORS and tax collectors Offices as well
as the school department.. The eXpendi
lures of the school department as reported
herein are for four months out of the ten.
The street superintendent has requested
that $3.50 be transferred from his asphalt
tum account to other accounts on his books,
to wit: $500 to personal property account,
$500 to expense account. and $3.50 to sta
tionery and book account. l would rec
ommend that this request be complied with
and that | be so instructed.
In connection with this report deem
1t my duty to call your attention to the
fact that there has been already expended
a large amount not provided for by the
appropriations. and this, If taken together
with what will have to be expended on the
water litigation, street signs and bridges
not provided for in the appropriation will
more than use up the amount transferred
from my estimate for new fire, apparatus
to theI cash fund. Respectfully.
