MAY 9, 1930. OIL FIRE DESTROYS PIERS AT BAYONNE | Five-Hour Blaze, Fed by Gas- oline, Takes $3,000,000 Property Toll. | By the Associated Press. BAYONNE, N. J., May 9.—Three plers | Refining Co. were in ruins today with an estimated loss of $3,000,000 after a fire, fed by 6,000,000 gallons of crude oil and gasoline, had raged through the | plant for five hours. |~ The fire, which started from an ex- plosion aboard a small motor tanker, destroyed, in addition to the piers, a ware house, a power house, a pumping | station and several locker buildings and tock houses. The flames were fed from 18 oil storage tanks which ex- | ploded one after another as the fire reached them. Seven men, three of them members of the crew of the tanker Churchia, where the first explosion occurred, were seri- ously injured and about 200 others were t-eated for minor hurts suffered fighting the fire. Burning oil flowing from the tanks into the Kill Van Kull made that nar- row strip of water between the New Jersey shore and Staten Island a sheet of flame and hampered the work of fire boats. e EUROPEANS TO SPEAK Mission Experiences Topic of Sym- posium at Adventist Church.
