MANY OKLAHOMANs INTERESTED
IN STATE GASOLINE HEARING
WIN Begin Enforcement Of New Law
Pending Decision Test Case.

oklahoma City, July 6.-Rehners and
dealers in gasoline and kerosene are
interested In the hearing that is TO be
held by the corporation commission In
this city July as 70 inspection of these
articles by the agents of the oil and
gas department OF the commission un.
der the new law OF the Sixth legislature
While the supreme court has deferred
hearing the test case that involves the
constitutionality Of the law until next
fall the corporation commission will
name its inspectors soon after the hear
ing that is TO be held and the inspection
OF gasoline and oils will be taken over
by the commission.
General rules and regulations for in.
spection and grading of gasoline and
oils will be discussed and considered at
the meeting here next Monday
The present law provides that gaso-
line in order TO be marked good" shall
have specific gravity OF between 6S
and 72 degrees Baume inclusive and
that those having n lower or higher
specific gravity shall be marked "in.
ferior." II is alleged that this law is
being violated by nearly all the gasoline
dealers OF the state. The commission
is, therefore. confronted with the propo.
sition Of attempting TO enforce the test
therefore, provided or fixing a new tes.
which can be found TO be workable and
practicable.
The problem OF the inspection Of gas-
oline has been made more difficult by
the development OF the casing heal
industry Within the last few months
comparatively hundreds OF casing head
plants have sprung up all over the state
in the natural gas fields. These plants.
by process OF compression, manufac-
ture what is known as casing.head gas.
oline from the casing head gas obtained
from the wells. This product is so vol
atile that it's transportation or use is
impracticable until It has been blended
with naptha. 1t therefore requires
careful inspection before the consumers
can be guaranteed a good quality Of
gasoline.
The commission has designated the
chief oil and gas conservation agent as
chief oil inspector and as soon as the
commission has formulated general
rules and regulations for the guidance
of inspectors the work Of inspecting
oil and gasoline in the state will be
prosecuted vigorously.
