up to and including November Is 1906
We agreed with the Associated OF
Co : negotiations with Mr.. Ripley, Mr.
| Wells and myself. that in consideration
| of their making US a special price on oil
Tor company use. which Is covered by a
| contract. and the further consideration
| that we would take certain quantity
/ they would IN turn ship from bakersfield
| over our line 10 San Francisco Bay
/ points certain minimum number OF bar
rels Of fuel oil at rate OF o cents per
barrel from bakersfield exclusive OF the
switching charge.
These statements cover the movement
except that they have included Stockton.
which is not correct. as IL Is not a bav
point and could not be reached as CON
Nenicntly by water We have paid them
on account Of this movement s7.23s which
should be deducted from the total OF
movement shown In the attached papers
wish you would arrange TO make up
a statement check the same. and refund
10 the Associated Oil Company down 10
the basis OF p cents per barrel from Ba-
kersiield where they are the shippers. re-
eardleSs OF who Is consignee. as all their
fue. oil is sold delivered The reason
Tor making this deal IN addition 20 what
have stated Is that the Associated oil
Company have their own boats and carry
Oh from fields controlled by themselves
along the coast near San Luis Obispo TO
San Francisco at much lower cost than
the special rate we have made them and
IN competition with the Union Oil Com
pany and the Standard OIL Company. II
WAS necessary for them TO sell al the
san Francisco Bay points on the basis
Of the cost OF water transportation from
the coast fields They figured they could
only AFFORD TO pay as the q cents per
barrel N by doing this they sold our
otherwise the business covered by tho
