-Than Dr. Echo was here at the plant on Wednesday ho told no ho had
"boon in conversation with Hr. -iayro of the Public Health Commission at bashirgton,
particularly with regard to bulk transportation of Plaid, juiong other things
discussed, as via question of the anonymity of cur tank tracks end I believe Ar.
Uayr expressed t-iio thought that ho would prefer to see some label or sign on
those trucks indicating the contents. Ho also said that in the event of an acci
dent in. which there was secs? appreciable quantity of luid spilled and in which
there night be sons public liability, undoubtedly the Health Ocsinissioit as -.-.oil
as vje ot^selras, would feci rsoro at east if^by outward indication the euatent
was publicly known,
