NO OBJECTIONS
 TO OIL COMPANY
Obstacle Removed As Far As City Is Concerned.-Permit F~c--, St-te Necessary.-$30,- 900 Project.

Mayor Charles A. Richard said "Wednesday afternoon that he intend ed to approve the application of the Beacon Oil Company to establish distribution plant on the so-called "Cutler Estate" on Main street. This removes all obstacles as far as the city of Putnam is concerned. The ap- proval of the state has yet to be se- cured. As the city does not object to the establishment of the plant it it anticipated that the permit from the state will be forthcoming.
 It has already been stated that the company intends to invest approxi- mately S30,000 in the erection of it's plant. This will consist of six 20,- 900 gallon tanks to hold gasoline and n storage warehouse for oil and grease. The company also intends to establish a retail department in con junction with it's wholesale plant.
 Mayor Richard made personal in- vestigation as to the feelings of near by property owners. The objection las set forth in a remonstrance pre- sented to the common council al- most wholly disappeared as the indi- vidual property owners were inter viewed.
 It is not known how many men the new enterprise will employ, but it was stated by the concerns representa- tive that local help will be given pre- ference. He also stated that opera tions would begin as soon as permits are granted.
