The Indignation of the residents of La
fayete over the action of the Fire Board
in allowing permission to Heist & Young
to placeSa j 900 barrel oil tank in that
section, has reached such a height that
a meeting of the Lafayette Improvement
Association is to be called to adopt plans
to fight the oil firm and prevent the dan-
gerous tank from being put in the local.
ity. A delegation of property owners.
headed by Commissioner Anthony Hauck
James Hughes and Mr.. E. NJ. Phillips
called on the President of the association,
Dir. Mortimer Lampson. last evening at
his home on Pacific avenue, and demand-
ed that a meeting be held to protest
against the location of tank in Lafay
cite.
At the meeting, which will be held
next week according to the statement OF
President Lampson, the matter viii be
discussed and it is quite probable that
funds will be raised for the purpose OF
hiring a lawyer to secure an injunction
against Heist & Young.
ASK ANGELS RESIGNATION.
Commissioner Hauck stated yesterday
that he would help defray expenses, and
similar statements were made by Messrs-
Phillips and Hughes. These gentlemen
are leading the fight and will stick at
it until the question is definitely decided
one way OF the other.
Commissioner Angel is held up to ridi
,ule in the Lafayette section, where he re-
sides. A 6szen or more people have
actually come to Mr.. Hughes and asked
him to draw up petition directed TO
Mayor Pagan asking for Angels resigna-
ton. These people have expressed them
selves as being ready to sign the petition,
They have stated that such man, who
deliberately reversed his position on the
oil question, is not fit to represent the
people.

yesterday, 'sif he stands by the interview
he gave out few days ago to local
