Mayor Laughlin and the
members of the City Council
have decided that the Waters
Pierce Oil Company may not
rebuild on the plot where the
plant was burned last week, or
if the Company does construct
its tanks there it will not be al
lowed to keep oil and gasoline
in them. This same rule will
apply to any plot within the
City limits, the officials having
decided that such plant is a
menace to City property and
lite. Several officials of the Wa
ters- Pierce Company have Wis
tied the City since the fire en-
deavoring to get permission to
rebuild the storage plant but it
has been denied. 1t is reported
that the Company had 40
years permission from the Po-
lice ury to occupy this plot
before it was taken into the
City limits, but it is held now
that this permission could not
extend to the rebuilding or to
the setting aside of ordinance
relating TO the storage of COM
bustibles in the City limits.
The City Council met Tues
day night and after discussing the
matter repealed all ordinances
bearing on the subject, at the
same time adopting one prohl-
biting the storage of oil and ex-
plosIves in the City limits.
The Waters Pierce Company
was granted permission so use
the old cotton mill for storage
purposes for six months or less
il it builds its storage tanks in
the meantime.
