oil MEN TO GIVE
REFINERY REPORTS
Figures on Gasoline and
Other Production Planned
by Institute.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. June 25.-The petro-
leum industry today Is rolling back its
cuffs preparatory to showing the Gus
toners of the country that it has moth
ing up its sleeve.
Beginning tomorrow, the American
Petroleum Institute will issue weekly a
report of refinery statistics covering the
runs of crude oil to stills and the gas
oline stocks and gas and fuel oil stocks
on hand. These reports will supple
ment the crude oil production figures
and will give a bird's-eye view to the
ultimate consumer of the situation in
the industry.
Importance of Step.
The Importance of this step can be
realized when It Is remembered that
approximately one in every four Amer
lean citizens digs down in his pocket
at least once weekly to pay for oil,
gasoline, fuel oil or other petroleum
products. Since prices in the long run
are bound to reflect the action OF sup
ply and demand, it makes it possible
for the consumer to estimate, roughly,
at least, what his expenditures for these
products will be.
The report will include the returns
of both foreign and domestic crude to
stills each week This will reveal ade-
quately the effect of foreign production
on domestic prices. Few realize how
closely developments in some OF the for
eign oil-producing countries come home
to them. Recently Venezuela staged a
short uprising. The governor of Gu
racao, Dutch colony. was kidnapped
with his garrison. Some treated this
development as opera boufe, but Ven-
ezuela is producing thousands of tons
of crude oil, which Is making its way
into the United States and to United
States refineries.
Domestic Production.
The domestic production, despite the
fact that little definite action was taken
at the conference at Colorado Springs,
called to consider conservation of do
mestic oil supplies, has been cut to
somewhere near the amount demanded
by the present huge consumption of Pc
troleum products. The main trouble
which the oil industry has to face at
present is the influx of foreign oil. The
Venezuela disturbance may yet have a
decided effect on this factor of the sit
uation.

COUNTY HEARS PLANS
FOR FILLING STATION
Arlington Zoning Board Makes
Good Progress With
Work.
BY a Stan Correspondent of rh. Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, June disappearing be-
fore the coming commission at its
regular weekly meeting last night, Harry
c. Birge, real estate dealer of WASH
ington, requested information as to
whether the lots at the northwest COR
ner of Wilson Boulevard and Westmore-
land street are to be zoned as COM
mercial or industrial.
Birge said that he Is contemplating
the purchase of the two lots, but re-
fused to close the deal before he learn
ed how the section is to be zoned. When
questioned as to what he intended con-
structing there, he said that he In
tended the installation of a gasoline
filling station. Chairman Fred A. Cos
nell then told him to submit plans for
the station and the commission would
pass upon them. He was also told that
there is a special ordinance regulating
the installation of filling stations and
that the board OF county supervisors
would have to pass upon the applica-
ton
The commission spent the greater
part OF the evening in a continuation
OF the tentative coming of the county,
making considerable headway.
Allen j. Savllle, coming engineer, told
the commission that il would be unwise
to attempt to put the coming ordinance
into effect until after September Is
since many people would be on their
vacations until that time and might de-
r1and that certain decisions be reopened
TO permit their presence.
