Worst Car Service
Data Is Sought by
Ohio Business Men

The Chamber Of Commerce at
Youngstown, Ohio through its secre-
tary, has written to the Chamber Of
Commerce of this city for information
as to a subject which, when it had been
summed up by chamber officials here,
thery said really is the question, How
rotten a car service did YOU Oklahoma
CITY people have this winter"
Youngstown wants TO know the
smallest number of cars operated dur
ing the worst of Oklahoma Citys bad
weather, the number of cars the trac-
ton company here has, its wage scale,
the rate of fare and if there has been
any increase in fare the past year In
asking how the car service was here
in stormy weather, Youngstown says
il has reference to local service, not
suburban or intcrurban service.
The chamber here says it hasn't any
particular tale of voc TO send back to
Youngstown but will try to give
Youngstown all reliable data obtain
able.

FayOrS 80 Percent Raise by
Equalization Board.

J. /. Lyon, secretary Of state. an
nounCed after the adjournment d the
morning session OF the state board Of
equalization today that he wa, in favor
Of an increased valuation OF N percent,
on pipe line properties over the valua-
ton Of last year
"lf oil property is assessed accord
ing TO my suggestion" said Mr. Lyon.
there will be an increased valuation
Of oil property for taxation purposes
of 100000"
The morning session Of the board was
taken up entirely Nth the discussion Of
the value Of oil in storage.
Gulf Attorney witness
J b. Diggs, attorney for the Gulf
Pipe Line company, was the principal
witness before the board. He testified
that when oil is worth s. per barrel,
as It is now on the posted price in the
mid-continent field, oil in storage is
worth Sl4j per barrel.
There is a big loss in oil when
stored" said Mr.. Diggs, mot in volume
but ~ speeiiie CAVITY. Oil in Oklaho-
ma is chiefly vsmable for the manu-
faeture Of gasoline and after being
stored for more than year il de-
pteciates from 2S to 50 percent for
gasoline purposes"
Governor Williams asked Mr. Diggs
why oil was placed in storage and he
answered that there were three reasons,
namely .-shat there might be a supply
for refining purposes that there might
be enough oil on hand to use as a basis
for making contracts; that in the oil
fields, especially in new fields rhere was
more oil produced than pipe lines could
carry out.
U. S. Gets Oil Cheap.
James A. Carroll Of the Prairie Oil
and Gas company said during the morn
ing session that his company had sold
storage oil to the Standard Oil COM
pany and that after mixing it with fresh
oil they received the posted price Of
& per barrel
Mr.. Diggs told the members Of the
board that gasoline is being sold the
government at l8 and 10 cents a gal
lon and S p. Freeing attorney gen
eral Immediately asked him why il was
that they wanted to charge AZ cents
gallon for gasoline in Oklahoma il the
government is purchasing it at l8 and
10 cents.
At the close of the session Mr. Lyon
said he thought $l70 would he a fair
basis for fixing of prices of storage
oil in the mid-continent field and STOP
fair price for storage oil in the
Healdton field
