REMOVE THE TANKS.
River men are severe In their criticism
Of the city authorities for allowing the
Standard Oil Company tb privilege of
having its tanks located right in th
heart of th city, a privilege not granted'
oil storage companies In any other mu
nicipality. . ;
Had the tanks bees out in soma Isolate
locality, they stat. It would bava bees
an easy matter for th are department
to have saved the East Side Lumber
Company's plant, th Johnston shipyards,
the Madison-street bridge, sd consider
able ether property that "went up In
smoke. As It was, the firemen ha to
devote fuUy three-fourths of their time
and energy in fighting the flames from
th oil tank, which wa absolutely nec
essary in order to save tb city. .
Water-front residents believe that the
corporation ought to be made, to relegate
their tanks to their proper place in some
remote locality, ' so that thelt1 explosive
product will not agalii be the means o)
jeopardising the Interests of 'other' prop
erty holder. ; ' :- ' '
