For an hour yesterday afternoon th health - and police ' and street' commit tees of the city council debated on the advisability of arsnting permission to the Oregon Railroad at Navigation com Vany to tor 110.000 barrels of petro leum to the yards of the corporation in Albina, with th result that the ma jority of .th two committee voted to recommend that the council grant th petition.' ' . '. .. " . When the ordinance cornea before the council Wedneaday . those opposed to storing on in Albina will make a deter mined effort to defeat the measure on the ground that such a large amount of petroleum will be a menace to th surrounding property and will raise the rate of Insurance on all property along the waterfront In that nelghbornooa. It 1 planned to build two tanks to hold 66,000 barrels each on a tract of (.11 acres about 860 feet west of the intersection of Delay and Knott streets and about 400 feet from property otner than that belonging to the corporation. The tank are to be above ground and connected with -the waterfront by a pip line through which the oil will be pumped from barges. -Another tank of 6.000 oarrels will be built nesr ths large one and a third of 10 barrels will be used a a feeder for engine. - Councilman KeUaher led the opposi tion and called on Walter Roberta, dep uty fire msrahal and Inspector for the fire underwriters, to tell how the tank would affect Insurance rates. Roberts said that while the' tanka were to be erected on th property, of th corpora tion, they would undoubtedly cause -an Increase In tb rate of Insurance throughout that neighborhood ' but he could not say to what extent. He said further the fact that oil would be car ried on barges on the river would have a tendency to Increase the rates of in surance on th opposite side of the river. Councilman Kellaher said that there was no doubt In bis mind that the prop osition was merely a scheme on the part of the company to transfer their tanks from Linnton to Portland. It 1 not right to store 110.000 bar rels of oil so near the center of the lty," said he. . "It may not do any damage COTTAGE GROVE WATER SYSTEM ABOUT FINISHED (Special Dwsetrh te The Joarset.)
