OIL MEN WOULD
CHAN GE ORDINANCE
DELEGATION MEETS WITH THE.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE
Numerous Alterations in the Measure
Are Requested by Combined
Interests-No Objection
Manifested

The building committee of the coun-
Gil held a conference with a delegation
of oil men, representing the refiners,
producers, dealers and insurance men
of Los Angeles in regard to amending
section 40 of an ordinance passed some
time ago by the council governing the
oil industry in Los Angeles.
The chief change the oil men desire
Is that of the district in which oil shall
be stored, refined and produced. The
ordinance as passed leaves out the
section already occupied by the STAN
dard Oil company, the Santa Fe and
part of the old oil district They ask
that this article be amended to cover
this area.
There are some minor changes also
desired in regard to the construction
of tanks, the oil men maintaining that
a tank to contain 500 gallons does not
need to be constructed of as heavy ma
terial as tank which was to hold
100000 gallons. The old ordinance did
not recognize this fact.
Again the ordinance called for a
wall of solid concrete to surround all
tanks located above ground, this wall
to be of sufficient strength and height
to hold without danger of leak or break
the contents of the tank. The oil men
assert that to enforce this measure
would cost $250,OOO, and that in many
instances it would be impossible to
construct such a wall They also ask
that permission be given to build un-
derground tanks of concrete as well as
steel.
1t was suggested to amend the arti-
Gle so as to allow retail dealers. and
consumers of oil to keep on hand a
supply sufficient for one week.
Several technical points were also
discussed and a list of suggested
changes were filed with the committee
The ordinance in question was drawn
by special commission composed of
j. C. Austin, John Parkinson and J..
II. Morrow. These men were present
last night and apparently favored the
proposed changes
The question was referred to a special
committee composed of the oil men
and the commission which framed the
ordinance.
