now are that there will be no
further trouble over the shipments
of the gasoline made direct from the
oil wells of this or any other section
facturers have been compelled to
reduce the gravity to about the
same as that of the gasoline pro-
duced by the oil refneries.
wister Shoemaker, local inspector
for the American Railway Assocla-
tons explosive bureau, was in the
city a day or two ago from Rich
mond. where his headquarters are
located. and to the local agent he
gave a copy of the new rules under
which the gasoline may be shipped i
In tank cars the fluid must not be
of a higher gravity than &c Baume,
while before the gasoline can be
in drums, which must weigh
not less than so pounds without
hoops, it must be weathered for a
period of not less than "a hours.
