STORING OF FUEL OIL.
A MATTER WHICH is NOW BEING
GENERALLY DISCUSSED.
Some Of the Reasons Why Big Tanks
Are Not BEING Built in Houston.
Some Suggestions.

A matter which is being generally
discussed just now and which has an I'M
portant bearing on the use Of crude pc
troleum for fuel, is the question as 10
the best manner Of storing the oil by indl-
vldiual consumers.
A large number Of the steam plants OF
Houston have already begun the use Of
the oil aud numerous other concerns, hay
Ing satisfied themselves that the supply
Is a permanent one and that the use OF
the oil will have no bad effects on Their
boilers, are ready to put In oil burners.
1t Is at this point that the feature men
toned above begins to cause trouble.
Even those plants which have rail CON
n~ections Of their own must find some
means of storing a greater or less supply
OF oil. for. Of course, it is impossible for
them TO allow the cars containing their
oil to stand on their tracks, even were
It possible for them to retain the cars for
the necessary length of time. 1t is plain
then, that some means for storing the Ii
quid fuel must be devised.
Under the circumstances it Is perfectly
natural for one to suggest that storage
tanks be built. 1t is considerably easier,
however, to make such Il suggestion than
ia corry II ont. The cost Of the tanks is

are certain restrictions around the bulldluS
OF the tanks which cause tine matter 20 De
much less simple than ii appears TO be
at hrst glance.
These restrictions are, In the main, I'M
posed by the insurance companies. The
general rule, IN the case ot crude OF,
is that storage tanRs, must he at Least iJJ

and at least ten feet away from the found

in halt-that is, the underground tank
must be at least five feet from the near
est foundation and the surface tank must
be distant at least ittJ feet. In thls
case, as ia the other, the top of the uu-
derground tank must be at least four feet
beneath the surface.
In the business part Of the city it is
practically impossible, OF course, to COM
ply with these regulations so Tar as tue
surface tanks are concerned. That Is,

ANALYSIS OF CONDITION
or STATE TREASURY.
7YF9E IS A GOOD ROUND SUM IN GE0R-
GAS CASH BOX.
The teachers Will Be Paid TwO-Thirds
dWhat the State Is. Due Them, After
All That Has Been Said.

The state treasury is in far better
condition than it was said to be.
The total amount of cash in the
treasury, including the public prop
er.y and sinking funds, is $795, IO1, less
The amount that has been paid ont
during the quarter without warrants,
md for which warrants will be pre-
anted at the end of the quarter. This
money has been paid out in advance
90 salaries of state officials, some in
trest coupons and a few pensions and
the amountis approximately $4,000
THIS means that the governor will
perhaps, be able to pay the teachers
more than two thirds Of their salaries
during July. He has already stated
that he will pay them all he possibly
can, and the indications are that he
will have between 100000 and $40
O)0for this purpose.
The public property fund, with
credit of $l2,000 that has been added
70 it as result of the supreme court
decision, amounts now to little more
than $44 600, and the sinking fund is
100000. Deducting this $544,000 from
the cash in the treasury there is left
$-jl 900, and deducting from that the
$4,000 paid out without warrants,
there will be LETT about $2ll, 900 in
cash in the general fund.
Now there will have to be paid on
July lst the interest on the bonded
debt, amounting to Sl6l, 900, which, Go
Quoted from the cash in the general
etand in the treasury, still leaves a
APPLIANCE of $4,000.
Iul 1t will be rememb ered at the time

nave been an error.
