Burglars also attempted to loot an
independent station at East Hous-
ton and Bowie streets, but fled at the
approach of the police.
The Grayburg station at Broadway
and Josephine streets was broken into
and four gallons of lubricating oil and
several air gauges stolen. The Gray
burg company's station ut Main ave
nue. and Dewey Place was robbed dur
ing the early morning. Oil constltut-
ed the loot of the intruders.
Last Tuesday night burglars stole
a safe. containing SOL from the

days prior the company's station at
South Presa and Carolina streets was
broken into and the safe. containing
