CARTER OIL CO. TO
BUILD 100000
PLANT At BILLINGS
VIII Have Capacity OF $4,000
Barrels Daily-COmpletiOn
Expected Before 1913

Billings, Aug. DEMONSTRATION
of a new refinery to be built al
Billings by the Carter Oil company
was announced this week by o. C.
SchOrp, president of the company.
The new plant will have a cap
acity of $4,000 barrels per day of
crude output and will include q
catalytic cracking unit. The plant
throughout will be of the most
modern design, embodying all the
latest improvements. The equip
ment will manufacture the highest
quality gasoline and other products
for the consuming public Carter
serves.
Mr.. Schorp said the engineers are
now working on the design and as
soon as this is completed work will
begin. However, some delay in
the delivery of equipment may be
anticipated and he estimated the
plant probably would not be ready
for operation before 1948.
Mr.. Schorp pointed out that inso-
far as possible the employees of the
new refinery will be recruited from
the present Carter manufacturing
organization.
"The new plant, which will cost
about $8,OO0,OOO, will be the largest
of its type in the state of Montana
as well as the largest in the entire
Mountain territory, as far
as we know now," President Schorp
said.
Announcement of the refinery ex-
pansion program followed only a
few weeks the adoption of the
"Oval-E" as the new brand for
Carter products for the large North
western territory in which it
markets.

The Public Utilities Commission
today is considering whether the
Washington, Marlboro and Annapo-
lis Motor Lines, Inc, can afford a
reduced rate to passengers riding
between the District line and the

The commission took the case
yesterday afternoon after hearing

company, declare that fares be-
tween Bradbury Heights and down
town fell off 10000 the first five
months of this year from what they
were during the comparable period
in 1S45.
Fare reduction is sought by civic
groups in the southeast section. The
fare is 10 cents straight on three
lines, with token and transfer ar
rangements available on two others.

even with a new wage contract the
company was obtaining a 20 per cent
return on operations within the Dis

Patent Staff Of 500
Faces Delay in Return

Leslie Frazer, first assistant COM
missioner in charge of the United
States Patent Office in Richmond
was quoted yesterday by the Asso-
ciated Press as saying there is little
likelihood some 500 employees of the
patent office still in Richmond will
return to Washington soon.
Patent office officials in Washing
ton said today about $50 employees
have been brought back to Wash
ington since the end of the war. A
large part of the patent office staff
was moved to Richmond as a war
measure in 1912.
The officials explained Office space
shortages as well as housing diff
culties stood in the way of an early
return of the workers.
Officials of the Public Buildings
Administration said today they have
the money to bring the employees
back from Richmond, but that unless
additional Office space is developed
in the Commerce Department Build
ing there is little hope of an early
move.
The Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton is housed there and is expand
ing, it was explained, and Secretary
of Commerce Wallace has insisted
he needs space for reconversion
studies and other programs he is
undertaking. If the Maritime Com
mission were to move, space for the
patent workers would be available,
Buildings Administration spokesmen
said, but added such move is
unlikely.

Robert N. Pollard of the Eastern
District Federal Court at Alexandra
for hearing July Is on a motion
to dismiss the poll tax suit filed
by Lawrence w. Michael, Repub-

Representatives.
John Locke Green, who filed the
action on Mr.. Michaels behalf, said
he has notified Judge Pollard and
Mr.. Staples he will be available for
the hearing any time from July
1925, inclusive.
The suit seeks to restrain COM
missioners of revenue and treasurers

collecting poll taxes on the grounds
that the State poll tax law violates
the 14th and 18th amendments of

In his motion to dismiss, Mr..
Staples alleges, among other things,
that the complaint fails to state
a claim against the defendants on
which relief can be granted because

wreck the country financially. But
there were those who cried the same
thing when we asked for the other
bonus-and it didn't do it then"
Mr.. Stack said the VFW is asking
a bonus based on a rate of 81 pei
day for service in this country, 81
per day for service abroad and a
fat $500 additional for any wounded
veteran.
