' a - Nkw Coal Oil Law. It is important that the people of this State be fully inform ed in regard to lho provisions of tho law lately passed concerning tho sale of oils, nud therefore present here n synopsis pf its lending points : I. It forbids the snlo of nny product of petroleum to be used iu lamps for burning of a lower the lest than 110 decrees. This completely shuts out all the patent fluids, rondo from bencino or gasoline, except so far as they are used 'm tho manufacture of gas, burned through pipes like ordiunry gas. II. It provides that all oil sold for use in this State shall bo inspected by a regularly appointed inspector, and that every barrel or pnekage shall bo branded as follows : "State of Pennsylvania, first test, ONE HUNDRED AND TEN DEGREES," With the narao of tho inspector. If, however, the oil is better than 110, it shall bo marked. III. All barrels which have contained oil, must have the inspector's brand re moved, before they are sold or refilled. IV. Any oil found in tho hands of a re tail .dealer, which have been fraudulently Branded, or tins oeen adulterated, or not coMiug to tho test of lit), is liable to sew wre. V. Any violation of this law Is followed by a tine of not less thnn two hundred and fifty dollars, or imprisonment not less than ono year, or both. Any person sustaining damage to projcrty or person by rensonof the use of oil not p to tho legal test, can collectjdamage ot the party who sold tlw oil. It will he seen that the provisions of this act nro very strict nud its penalties very severe. It is to be hoped that every dealer will uso his best endeavor to have tho law fully enforced.
