It having been In charge of ths Government operations In Oregon and Washington.

Councilman Burgard. who has been here for three days attending the Potlatch. has been Investigating oil tanks, especially those of th Union Oil Company. He Is a member of the committee of the City Council "of Port land, which is now engaged in work ing out the problem of where to place the oil tanks and warehouses tnere, After inspecting the Union Oil Com pany tanks hero Mr. Burgard ex pressed the belief that their construc tion and arrangements are ideal and that there is no danger from explo sion or fire. He Is satisfied that, were the tanks in Portland to be similarly arranged the people there would be safe and property would be out of danger. He Is inclined to believe mat n me com panles handling oil there can secure sufficient property on the fllled-in lands of Guilds Lake or some such nlace. It would be a satisfactory solu tion of the problem that is proving so difficult in Portland. "As the Union Company's tanks are arranged here," said Mr. Burgard, "I consider them perfectly safe. I con sider them, from the standpoint of -an Insurance man, safer than many other establishments. Oil we have studlod and we know how to handle It. but the erea.te.st uroblem is electricity. rvow If enousrh eround can be found, say on Guilds Lake, I believe the people f Portland would be satisfied. "There is no danger- from fire or explosion, as the modern oil plant Is built, I am convinced, but it needs plenty of ground, ventilated buildings. Of course, I do not wish at this time to commit myself to any detinue de cision on this problem, but I am In clined to believe that the problem can be solved, as it has been here."
