Although the permit was issued for
only 100000, Mr.. Niggli explained
the new playhouse represents an in
vestment of fully S1,5O0,00O. Walsh
and Burney are the contractors.
LARGEST so FAR.
"The total already is twice as large
as that of any other January" Mr..

permits for SS5s,OO0 in new construc-
ton we're issued, but the current
months total is expected to approx
mate S2.OOO.OOO."

airy, 1924, SG04.000.

nit for the erection of another ice fac
tory, Tuesday. The permit taken out
was for a $4,000 building.
Mr.. Niggli commented upon the ad-
herence to the state fire laws by San
Antonio contractors.
1.-THE contractors, architects and
myself have spent much time on sll
new structures in order that they will
be built in compliance with the fire
laws" Mr.. Niggli stated.

was spouting column of fire 200 feet
into the air Monday afternoon as re
suit of the flow igniting immediately
after it was completed at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. The we'll came in with
tremendous gas pressure, which
with the large initial production of oil
adds to the seriousness of the fire and
made it virtually impossible to con

subsidized.
The well came in with approximate
ly 5000 barrel initial production, but
later information places the estimat.
ed flow at 1000 barrels. The rig,
derrick house and engine room were
wiped out by the fire within a few
minutes, but because of its location,
the fire did not spread to filled tank
age or other wells The nearest tank
of oil was across a 404acre tract anc
the fire did not reach this.
1t is reported by those who were at
the we'll at the time the fire started
that when the we'll was drilled in, that
the gas and oil came in so tremend-
Gus that it was ignited from the
forge in the engine room, although a

sure was so strong that it sent the
control head flying in the air The
well had only been completed but a
few minutes when the initial burst Of
oil and gas broke into flames with a
roar that could be heard for long
distance.
The fire was plainly visible from
the nearby towns, while the sun was
shining brightly and great mass of
dense smoke was sweeping across
the field Hundreds of automobiles
from neighboring towns rushed to the
well when the fire was observed and

COMPANY CLAIMS CARRIERS AC-
TIVITiES SHOULD BE IN THREE
UNITS FOR RATE MAKING

Helena, May 3.-For rate making
purposes, the activities OF the Hi
nois Pipe Line company should be di-
vided into three units, the Sunburst
Oil company declares in its brief filed
with the Montana public service COM
mission. The commission has insti-
tuted a proceeding to determine the
justice of rates charged by the car
riers. 1t is the contention of the oil
company that the patrons of the
gathering line in the Kelvin held
should be relieved of the expense or
maintaining the company's storage
tanks and of the operation of the pipe
line serving the Canadian refineries
at Coutts.
It is suggested that the rate on the
gathering system should be seven and
one-half cents per barrel, that reas-
enable charge should be made for stor-
age to those customers who desire to
take advantage of this service and
that there should be a rate of five
cents a barrel for the Coutts line.
