Stream Pollution By Waste Oil Cited
Washington report says about 255 million gallons of automobile waste oil went uncollected from gas stations last year, raising concerns over water pollution. The Association of Petroleum Refiners urged Congress to consider government action to curb pollution and aid the industry. Forefiners urged relief from regulations after the removal of a six cent tax on lubricating oils, effective January 186, impacting prices. Robertson of Jackson, Mississippi, president of APR, testified that FTC rules two years earlier required labels on reused oil products in interstate commerce.
