spector Dillon and the fees for the first
| part of the year going to ex-Territorial
| Inspector Elmer E. Brown. One OF the
| principal objections made to inspection
| In Oklahoma by the oil companies is that
| there are not enough inspectors to handle
| the work. These companies assert that
| they are compelled to hol doll for an in
definite number of days in order to give
| the inspector an opportunity to reach the
points to which the oil has been shipped
| This feature is one which the companies
| do not like. as IT means delay in their
business and sometimes additional ex-
pense. The Harrison bill remedies this
defect to some extent. as it provides for
deputy inspectors at all stations where
the companies have storage tanks By
having these inspectors the oil can be in
spected Immediately without the delay

time
