OIL INSPECTOR
Useless Office That
Should Be Abolished

4 bill has been introduced in the
Kentucky Legislature providing for
the adjustment in the various coun-
ties Of the State the office Of oil in
spcctor. The adjustment Of this
useless Office would result in untold
benefit 70 the oil and gasoline con-
suming public, who in the end pay
the salaries, that in many eases are
cxhorhitant, beyond all reason. We
are unable to say jus, what the oil in
spector gets in Garrard county. but
We do know that he gets ten CENTS a
barrel on every barrel 81 gasoline
and coal oil that is unloaded in Ian
caster. IL takes about ten minutes
TO inspect a car Of gasoline and a car
Of oil. These cars hold from l25 TO
200 barrels each, which means that
the Inspector gets from $3.50 10 $50
on every car that comes 20 Lancaster.
II the office could not be abolished
entirely, why not let one Of the eoun-
~ officials inspect this oil and in this
way eliminate the heavy expenses 20
the consumer?
II is without doubt one Of the
worse pieces % graft that was ever
perpetrated upon an innocent public.
When you think Of the amount Of oil
and gasoline that is consumed in the
city Of Louisville and jefferson coun-
~. one is astounded at the fabulous
graft the inspector derives from this
source. Many contend that his salary
reaches the enormous sum Of 500. 900
a year. II has been said that Fay
cites oil inspector pulls down some
thing like $4,000 a year.
All Of this for an office that is abb
solutely useless and should be abolish
ed. We hope our representative. r.
ID. McMurtry and Senator Haselden
see this as the oppressed public see Il
and vote for its interests.
