No oil runs will be made Monday
and Tuesday and probably none will be
run Wednesday. The pipe line people
have been requested to empty $4,000
barrel steel tank which it had bor-
rowed from the McMan Oil company,
and two or three days will be required
to run the oil from the tank, and
while that is being done, no oil can
be taken from the producers. The oil
run during the past few weeks have
been more than 100000 barrels. The
pipe lin run in one day was as high
as 21.O00 barrels. These neavy runs
are said to have almost filled all the
storage which the Magnolia people
have, however. at the Fort Worth re
fnery a new $4,000 barrel steel tank
will be completed tomorrow.
