The sweltering heat of the (afternoon was a handicap both for the band and (the people, but the vent was very highly appreciated. Thirty members-of the band participated in the concert under direction of George W. Jones, and the program was an exceptional musical treat.

The classical feature of the program was the rendition of William hTe work at the Moore refinery hat entered its second phase. Up ti last week the main effort3 were directed in the work of starting batteries 1 and 2 and the lubricating wax plants. All these are in. operation now, and the main work has shifted to the remodeling of a complete new set of high pressure stills.

The commission approved the specifications an destimatos of the city engineer on new water works equipment, and. amended the report by including an investment presented verbally by the city engineer, which would represent a saving ol more than $900 a This improvement in the waterworks system is a matter that has been pending for several on which the Traveler has heertofore made a detailed report. Commissioner Thompson reported that while in ithe storevoom adjacent to boy scout headquarters in the city building he noticed that the finger, print material and equipment was not there and according to report had been taken by a man helping the former police chief in getting some finger prints. The mayor run will not be increased until battery 3 is put into operation, as battery 1 and 2 are ranning to capacity.

On battery 3 new towers are heing placed on the condensor pans one tower for each still. Ther.e towers are similar to steam dome. They are 35 feet high and when Tut into place their tops are about feet above tha ground. Batter? 3 receiving house is being cor nletely remodeled.

Four new stills, together with tl.e condensor pans which will have to be built for them, are going to added to battery 3.. Ground fo: these new stills is broken. Constructing these four new stills will be a big work ih itself, and frost will be here before this one task is completed. When battery 3 is completed, it will consist of twelve bi? stills, and this -battery will have a capacity of 10,000 barrels of crudp daily. School bells will be ringiiu-before any of the stills of battery 3 are in operation.

Ordinarily battery $4.50 to $7.50 now $3.38 to $5.63 Several big little matters were the only things that came up for consideration at the weekly meeting of the city commissioners this morning. E. A.
