Refineries Possible Construction of large refineries along the shores of the state, may w follow this de- velopmen* because at Searsport | in Penobsei.: Bay, Shell Oil is said to be contemplating installa- tion of a receiving farm for its products. Both Portland and Searsport have harbors among the finest in Maine. Only in the last two years has there been a complete turnaround in the gigantic oil industry. In rising volume within the next year or year and a half, oil from ithe really fabulously rich soutces in the Middle East will be head- ing for the Atlantic coast. A pipeline more than 1,000 miles long is almost completed from the Arabian oil fields to the Mediterranean, with American, British and Dutch capital. The oil this line will carry will jcome to the United States and the development of California Stan-! dard’s station here insures its discharge at oneof the nearest American ports. The big influx of oil will be well under way by 1951 Middle East Oil For some time now oil from the Middie East has been moving to Portland for shipment over the Standard’s pipeline to Montreal, Canada. To accomodate the in- creasing demand their plans are to be started next spring to double the line ith a second fipe of 18-inch, ity. Last year Shell built a 46 -mite pipeline from Portland to Bangor. This has take-offs at several points on its way east and does| away with the service of small} tankers which hadshipped cargo at Portland for Kennebec and Penobscot River points.

It is re ported to have the largest oil sources of any American com- pany. Its entry into the retail field has been whispered for| months. Direct sale from the wells to company-operated filling stations ‘is described as the largest source of profit in the industry. Some Service Stations Now | MIAMI and (No Stops night.

The new Calso plant at South Portland will distribute its products to Maine, New Hamp- shire and Massachusetts accord- ing to the announcement made when the public was informed the shipyard property had been bought. May Spur Plans Coming to Portland of another fleet of tankers will give the twin cities of Portland and South Portland another source of in- come. The waterfront street, ‘Commercial street, which stretéh- es two miles from one extremity | of the city’s business section to the other where most of the “tank farms” are, may revive its post- var lethargy to serve one of the busiest waterfronts in all New England. (Only Vermont is in- land of the-six states). The impending oil boom is like- ly to force to completion a pro- ject for a new entrance to Port- land from the south. The Boston road, which is U.S. Route 1, crosses Vaughan Bridge, while the Boston & Maine railroad gets to Union Station on trestle work. The program is to build a new two-level bridge, which will serve both highway and rail traf- fic. In the United 87 per cent of the far e auto- mobiles and 36.5 per cent have trucks.
