I might also mention at this time that this condition is pretty prevalent thruout my territory and X u-ould not be surprised to see a definite curtailment of operations in nany of the refineries in this territory#

doth, quarterly inspection of trie ,,XX3 plant at this refinery and Authority and Notification man Contact vi-.tr9 made and regular reports have boon rendered#
homotine ago I roooivsd a note from -jon monrose advising that Ur. -nnloy, dupb* of this refinery desired to clean a tank ire the time of my next visit and also desired to use my airlino equipment. .ith tills in mind I carried, rsqr equipment at the tin of this contact but Ur. Uanlcy advised that the cleaning could not bo done at the prosent time# :ie requested that I drop him a line juat before the tins of ny next visit and lie would have tlx tank obesanca and ready for cleaning#
The operations at this refinery tire somewhat curtailed due i the fact that thoir wells aro jammed up with sand and vm x although they are attempting to pull the tubing thsrasolves ana clean same. I believo that thoir finances are such that they cannot afford to have this v.-ork done by a regular drilling contractor*.
