The Standard Oil Company and Asiatic Petroleum

Company have built large storage Tanks. Suitable isolated sites have been selected and the most modern steel Tanks erected and grouped.

All Oil Fuel coming into this Colony goes to these

two storages, after being tested. This also applies to all Admiral- -ty Fuel.

The Regulations framed to govern the landing, storage

and transhipment of Oil Fuel, are strictly enforced.

I do not consider any further action is required

in this Port.

22nd. September, 1915.

(sd.) C. . Beckwith,

Harbour Laster.
