GASOLINE LIGHTING
STOPPED BY COURT

The danger Of using gasoline for
lighting purposes has become such a
menace to property and life that the
courts of various states have taken &C
tion for the protection Of all citizens.
According to decision of the Denver
court the use of gasoline for the pur.
pose is now misdemeanor and pro-
hibited by law. Yesterdays issue
of the Denver Post gives the follow
ing resume Of recent case and ruling
of the court:
''1 he use of gasoline for Lighting
Is a misdemeanor and leaves the
offender liable to heavy fine, accord.
ing to decision recently made ty
the county court, which determined
that it is unlawful to burn it as an
illuminant unless it first passes in.
spectiun by the state oil inspector.
The finding of the court also clears up
the question Of liability of parties us
ing gasoline taken from storage tanks
inside of the building illuminated.
The provisions of the law that the
tank containing the gasoline must be
buried underground outside the build
ing were entirely upheld. This new
Interpretation of the laws governing
the use of gasoline for lighting prao.
tically wipes out every gasoline light
ing system in the city and state, as
no one will care to operate their
plants with the danger of heavy fine
hanging over their heads.
''The decision was made through a
complaint brought by John L. Russell,
state oil inspector, in February
against Mike Karamigios and James
T. Staphopules, proprietors of the
Crystal billiard parlors located on
Stout street, next to the the Equitable
building. The information charged
that the billiard hall men were using
gasoline for lighting which had not
been inspected or approved by the
state oil inspector. as the law provides,
and that their gasoline tank was n OF
buried underground outside the build
ing. The decision makes all conten-
tious with respect to the use of gaso-
line plain and is very conclusive that
it cannot be used for lighting without
running the risk of heavy fine. The
defendants in this case were fined
only the minimum which is $40, be-
cause they represented to the court
that they discontinued tile use Of the
gasoline when the information WAS
filed.
"Another fact which shows the dis
favor with which gasoline is regarded
where security of life and property is
emphasized is in the determination
recently made by the board of fire un-
derwriters who raised the rste %
cents a hundred on all property where
gasoline ia stored for any purpose.
1.-THE decisions of both the county
court and the fire underwriters will
undoubtedly work a hardship on a
number OF people who have put a
good deal Of money into gasoline
lighting installations, but as the safe :
ty of life and property are the first
considerations, they will be welcomed
with much favor. There is no one
will dispute that the use of gasoline
in the immediate vicinity Of build
ing as large as the Equitable and ten
an'ed with hundreds Of people is
fraught with a danger that cannot be
too seriously considered for the sake
OF preserving life and property
