If these conditions prevail in all of our divisions, I think we must be doing a pretty good job. MR Enc.

At that time I said I felt v;e had now reached the point where our education on cleaning leaded gasoline tanks in the industry was bearing fruit and it was a rare occasion when we found tank cleaning crews not following our safety precautions. I have since checked back through our tank cleaning re ports for the period from January 1st to lay 1st, 1941 and I am listing below the number of infractions noted on these reports. United States Canada Jobbers Total No. Cleaned 100 23 124 j.V O 6 1 1 3 You will note of a total of 124 tanks cleaned in this division, only eight showed any infractions whatever and most of these were of a very minor nature. They included such items as lack of sufficient spare clothing; criticism of the way the men "orked while in the tank; comment on insufficient cooperation from the foremen and items of that nature. In no cs.se were men sent in a tank without adequate protective equipment. JAC:E / d. A. Costello RE 0022721 N22651.0I
