Alexander - Skidding Oil Derrick
Harold Alexander, field superintendent for the G. L. Reasor drilling crews,
asked rmission from the Council to skid a portable oil well derrick approximately
two (2rblocks on city streets. The derrick was being moved without permission
and City Manager Middleton had stopped themoving earlier in the day. Supt. of
Public Works Grantham refused to give permission to use skids as the city has an
ordinance forbidding the moving of any object over the streets unless mounted on
pneumatic tires. The derrick was now halted in the middle of Amelia Street until
some decision could be reached by the Council. Tt was agreed that the derrick
must be moved from iahe middle of the street, yet, the Council was not in favor
of approving a direct violation of a city ordinance. Councilman Buelow asked
if the Council wasn't setting a bad precedent if it went on record as allowing
such a movement in direct violation of the city ordinance. After much discussion
Mayor Ward said the Council would leave the decision of the case in the hands of
the City Manager, Superintendent of Public Works and Pure Chief. Mr. Middleton
-said he would file charges against Alexander in order that the City might be
protected.
