STANDARD OIL MAKES
LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS

I Quite an extensive program OF al
terations and improvements is being
carried out 1t the Standard Oil Com.
pany plant in East Ely. Included in
the improvements is the erection OF
about ESQ feet of iron fence. This
fence is six feet high and of orna.
mental design. and as we'll as being
of attractive appearance will prove a
most effective barrier against prowl.
ing trespassers.
A radical change is also being
made in the piping system. whereby
approximately 2,000 feet OF pipe Is
being taken from under the ground
and placed for use above ground.
other plans in the program of i'm
provement include the remodeling OF
the pumping plant, a new floor in the
engine room and the enlargement of
the Office quarters.
The work being done al this time
is giving employment to some who
might otherwise be caught in the
Present industrial depression and Is
otherwise encouraging. because II

demands of increased business when
the pendulum swings back to general
and permanent prosperity that is sure

Local Manager +. w. Ball is not
worried as TO the future of this dis.
trict. and while conservative in ex-
preston he does not hesitate to show
personal optimism and express his be.
lief that when business activities are
again resumed the new order OF
things will be on a larger scale than
ever and on a more permanent basis
Owing TO the location a great many
people are not aware of the extent
and importance OF the local oil plant
and the fact of its efficient upkeer
and gradual enlargement is a pretty
good indication that the company
looks upon this particular section of
Nevada with favorable prediction.
