The Need for Pipe Lines
A pipe line is established to be the safest and
most economical means for land transportation of
gasoline and other oil products. Other sections of
the United States have long recognized this and pro
fited by it. Only the Sontheast has no pipe lines.
Why should pipe lines be built?
It is as natural to transport gasoline in large
quantities by pipe line as it is to supply a city or
town with water by pipe lines.
Pipe lines are being used in all other parts of the
United States for the transportation of petroleum
products and it is surprising that a section as for
ward-looking and as progressive-minded as the
Southeast still is without pipe lines.
Economic Advantages to Georgia
There are many reasons why Georgia should
welcome within its borders any private enterprise
which is legitimate and which has proved itself cap
able and efficient. Consider some of the striking
points about pipe line companies as compared with
other transportation companies:
1. —Pipe lines are built by private capital and are
developed without land grants or other public sub-
sidiaries.
2. —This capital has actually been used economi
cally and for pipe line construction.
3. —Pipe lines have materially reduced trans
portation costs.
4. —They are efficient and safe.
Pipe Line Savings
There are at present more than one hundred
twenty-two thousand (122,000) miles of pipe lines
used in transporting oil products in the United States
These lines resulted from the efforts of the oil indus
try to reduce costs and provide efficient transporta
tion. Reliable figures establish that the oil compa
nies, by improved and more economical transporta
tion facilities, have saved the American customer
during the past ten years more than eighty million
dollars ($80,000,000).
Taking figures of the Oil and Gas Journal on the
tank wagon price of gasoline in fify cities of the
United States, and figures {of the United States
Bureau of Labor on prices paid by wage earners
in 32 large cities, it is established that the decline in
the price of gasoline over a period of 18 years is 20.8
per cent MORE than the decline in the prices of oth
er commodities which wage earners buy.
Here is a brief quote from the editorial columns
of the Camilla, Ga.. Enterprise:
“Boiled down to reality, the argument (against
pipe lines) is that the use of pipe lines would permit
delivery of both crude oil and gasoline to consumers
at lower prices than now are possible.
“To us, that does not see n a crime.’’
