STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
Lucille McGuire, 424 Gull Court, addressed the Council about a
leaking gas line. The leak was found and plugged by the Fire
Chief. Mrs. McGuire stated that Petrolane has arbitrarily decided
to solve the problem by putting in an outside tank, which is
against the Village Code. According to Mrs. McGuire, Petrolane
told her it would cost too much money to repair the leak, and
' therefore they will flood the tank and lines with water, and leave
the tank above ground permanently. Mr. O'Meilia stated that all
new tanks or repaired tanks are required to be underground, and
that this tank above ground is a temporary controlling measure, and
that Petrolane will be required to bury the tank, as required by
