Subject, Rotation of the Petroleum requlreInenta..~ For the City or Clearwater. Gentleuen, In the past years the oity's Petroleum needs have been rotated so as to let each Company have at least 3 to 4 months of each year but under some pecularity or misunderstanding our Company has not been represented though we have our equipment installed at the Gas Plant to be used by other Companies in the Rotation arrangements. The Cities Service Co~pany is planning Q large scale expanding for the City or Clearwater and adjoining area and I as their Representative would appre- ciate any consid.eration that is due me. Some of the Oil Companies that operate in the City do not even pay a City Tax becQuse their Bulk plants are operated from other Cities yet they ahare i~ the Cj.ty Rotarion Plan. My Oompany along with the Gulf. Fure Oil and Standard Oil Companies pay a Fee of $75.00 for the privilege to operate in your City. Please take this in consideration When working out your solution.
