Storms Created Havoc
The storms of last November, dur
ing the equinoctial period, wreaked
havoc 'among the hundreds of barrels
stored oq the property adjoining
the warehouse, the seas running ram
pant creating considerable damage
among the oil drums, many of which
were swept out to sea. The new
seawall will eliminate this danger,
aside from adding much to the effi
ciency of the plant.
As w'as witnessed last winter, dur
ing the storm period, wTaves crash
ing against the concrete seawall,
flung sheets of wrater higher then
the big storage tanks, completely
sweeping over the yards and endan
gering, to a great extent, these large
tanks, which have a total storage
capacity of one million gallons of
oil and gasoline. To overcome a rep
itition in the future, a crewT of seven
men have been employed for the
last few weeks, asphalting the entire
tank yard. This work will be com
pleted within the next few days.
