AUTHORS ARE CRITICISED Distifled Officials Say Measure Will Be Introduced to Annul Existing Law and Sew One Prepared for Passage. Oil tank legislation threatens to dis rupt th organisation In th City Coun cil, for yesterday Councilman Monks made public his determination to In troduce an ordinance at the next ses sion. If possible, repealing ths previous ordlnsnce, which crested six bWr oil districts In th city limits. Councilman Jennings offered Mr. Monks his sup port, saying that he felt a grievous wronsr hsd been done by the special committee which recommended th measure that Is now a law. Councilman Monka took up the sub ject with City Attorney Grant and In tends to seek first the repeal of the ordinance which pasned the Council af ter being drawn In eecret, after which, he says, he purposes asking for an or dinance to be prepared by one of the regular Council committees, alter a fair and Impartial hearing has been riven everyone concerned absolutely open snd aboveboard. Woaka Cessans Cosasattte. "Ih.it ordinance, which we all voted for. Is all wrong." said Mr. Monka Personally I voted for It solely upon th recommendation of Councilman Baker. B.trgard and Watktna. compris ing th special committee. They naa passed two months investigating con ditions and should have known better than to have ailpped over anything like they did. It is not going to work, as far as I am concerned, for I have dis covered that It Is not in the Interests of th publlo welfare, and I shall ask Its repeal, probably at the next aeasion of th Council. I think any ordi nance that Is good can stand the light of day and should not be passed at a special sessslon wltbout aa mucn as having been properly Introduced, aa this one was. "Aftsr Its repeal I shall ask for an open, publlo Investigation of condi tions, with a view to drafting an ordi nance that will meet with public ap proval and. at th earn time, be fair to both sides. In other words, I fa vor either moving th oil companies out of th city limits or of leaving the tanks on the East aide where they are now. If they are dangerous In one place, they ar dangerous in anoiner. and I don't Intend to have them shift ed across th river into my ward." Jeaalngs Voles sgrmsest "I hsv greatly regretted that oil leglslstlon,' 'said Councilman Jennings. "1. too, voted lor tne oromanca luiw lutely on the word of others. 1 had been 111 for weeks and had no personal knowledge of Its provisions. As a matter of fact, however. I thought I was v.. ting to put th oil tanks out side of the city. I favor the repeal of th ordinance without delay and th reconsideration of th whole question of oil storage and subjects linked with It. These things should never be rushed through in suoh haphaxard fashion as waa this particular ordi nance, and never again will I rote for anything wltnout first having given It special atudy and being familiar with its provisions.- Th. ordinance In question created districts throughout th city wher th storag of oils snd petroleum may be made. Among tnea is one on uunu t.i. In Councilman Monks' wsrd. Others ar In South Portland, where a great protest waa being mad when Mayor Rushlight shut off possibl ac tion by the improvement ciuo u m signing th ordinance.
