Here's One Ray Of
Hope for Motorists
Who Buy Gasoline

Besides the notable increase OF the
production OF crude oil that has been
shown in the different fields OF the
gulf coast region of Texas duriag the
last few weeks, another feature OF the
industry which may have an import
ant bearing on the gasoline trade of
the country is the extensive prepare
tons that are being made for enlarg-
ing the refining facilities in this state.
No less than six rehneries ranging in
capacity from 10000 barrels to 10000
barrels OF oil are now either in process
OF construction or are being planned
for the near future The refinery
which the Galena Oil company is
building near Houston. it is said. will
be one OF the largest in the United
States. Authoritative announcement
has also just been made that the Crys-
tai Oil company, which is closely affil-
lated financially with the. Sinclair Oil
and Refining corporation of Okla
homa. has purchased site on the
ship channel near Houston where it
will build a refinery and export ter
minaIs. This proposed plant will cost
approximately 81, 100000 and will have
daily capacity OF 10000 barrels of
oil. 1t will be connected with the
MIDI Continent oil fields by means of
an eight-inch pipe line, which will be
laid at cost of about $5,000000.
