Gay.
B. E. Hull, WEP director. said the
first flow through the 24-inch line,
running from Longview, Tex, to
Norris City, began at 2:10 pm. at
a rate of 10000 barrels daily, some

100000 Barrels Daily Maximum.
Chemicals introduced into the
pipe near its Eastern terminus
acted to remove water which had
accumulated in the 55O-mile tube

able, Mr.. Hull estimated. Then part
of the flow will be turned into an
Ohio oil companys pipeline to
Pennsylvania. A 14-inch line from
Norris City joins the Ohio system at
Enfield, III.
Meantime, the oil will flow into the
first of IS storage tanks, each with
10000 0-barrel capacity, from which
it in turn will move by gravity into
tanks cars in loading yard built by
the New York Central Railroad.
From 600 to TOO cars of oil will be
moved out daily, once rail ship
ment starts.
