Reconsider Oil Permit At Goodsprings Storage Tanks
The city board has reconsidered denying Standard Oil the right to erect storage tanks on railroad property at Lewis street. The action is praised as a major step to lower gasoline prices by at least 10 cents a gallon and end drum delivery in favor of bulk carload shipments. This should remove the price gap between Las Vegas and Goodsprings and explains the long-standing question of why Goodsprings sold gas cheaper than Las Vegas.
