The commission feels that with the approval this week of plans for the costly new Standard Oil Building, to be erecied on the north side of B street between Second and Third streets, it has taken a step toward realization of the ideal motivating passage of the Shipstead-Luce act.

The Standard Oil Building is to be constructed of limestone facades and its exterior appearance will give no hint of the filling-station quarters inside the| first-floor walls, except for the open en- trance leading to oil tanks hidden | within.
