For example, restrictions are placed on distances be- tween buildings at propane plants. and between plant sites and nearby buildings. Every plant in Canada has ex- ceeded the minimums, he said Tuesday. Minimum strenth of pro- pane tanks is 480 pounds. Ac- cording to Mr. Alty. no tank under normal conditions LIereoyignd’ 1 The K.

If the equipment is work- ing properly, excess heat will open a safety valve in the tank. Mr. Alty said. “There is less danger of an explosion or fire in our plant than in any other industry in Richmond Hill," Mr. Alty stated. Propane and gas plants of all kinds are normally prohi- bited in most municipalities. According to Harold Decks, Richmond Hill’s planning di- rector, gas plants are prohi- bited in Richmond Hill.

Markham Township approved the erection billboard and refused at Monday's meeting, ions to an amendment to the zoning bylaw which would permit such an installation came at the committee hear- A township bylaw prohibits the erection of such signs in industrial zones. Once the town has allowed a plant to be built, it has no control over safety measures.

HOW LONG SHOULD YOUR TIRES LAST? ing Continuing competition a- mong rayon and nylon tire cord makers to increase their share of the market is resulting in better tires for motorists. Rayon today holds about 80 per cent of the tire Si": market due main ly to lower price, holds about 80 per cent of the tire (‘3 market due main ly to lower price, though its lead has been challen- ged in recent years by the strum‘ ger nylon cords. The competition M'R'Beu has caused rayon cord makers to bring out stronger threads that come close to matching nylon in strength. An existing building which‘ did not meet the mquire- ments of a new zoning bylaw would be regarded as being non-conforming and would be allowed to stand. Mr. Deeks said. has caused rayon cord makers to bring out stronger threads that come close to matching nylon in strength. Nylon tire makers are work- ing hard to reduce prices, but their big advantages are still greater strength and adaptab- ility to recapping. Your tires can wear out in less than 10.0410 miles or last for 40,000, depending on inflat- ion and speed. Underinflation of 30 per cent, for instance, a fairly common occurrence, re-‘ duces tire life to 90 per cent of normal. He said company losses would probably exceed $250,- 000. There are no immediate ‘plans to rebuild the flattened plant, Mr. Norris said. Over 20 homes near the blast scene have been pla-carded as being unsafe for habitation by :Vauvghan officials. The feed ‘mill. badly damaged in the ex- plosion. was also condemned. Most of people unable to re- turn to their homes are living ,with relatives. One family is staying in an nearby motel. Praise Chief By creating high tire temp-‘ eratures, especially on under- inflated tires. high speed can cut tire life drastically. Taking “normal” speed at 50- MPH. a continuous speed of 80 MPH would increase tread wear fourfold. Reducing continuous speed to 40 MPH will produce a bonus of 41 per cent increase over normal. To protect your tire invest- ment, check your inflation each 500 miles with the tires cold. It is a serious mistake made by many motorists to deflate their tires before or during a long trip when they will be driving at high speeds.’ A warm tire naturally registers greater in- flation poundage due to heat expmsion which dissipates as the ‘ire cools.

For almost gksgn hour pumper trucks fed wat- 'er on the fire from a nearby â€" creek until electric power was restored in the blast area. It took firemen nearly four hours to bring the blaze under control but flames were still spouting from one tank Wed- nesday morning. Officials Say Damage Will Hit Hall Million The storage tank held seven tanks of liquid propane, two of the tanks were 30,000-gallon size Biggest blast was the second explosion which was felt in downtown Toronto. It tore apart an 18,000-gallon steel storage tank, hurling a fiveâ€"ton section nearly a quarter of a mile into an adjoining lumber yard. Another section of the tank landed on the street between two homes and badly damaged the rear of an automobile. One of the adjoining houses destroyed by the blaze was va- lcan‘t pending demolition to make way for an office building for the company. Another home nearby was unoccupied as its owners \\v..re away for the hol-i- :day week’nd. ' Razor-sharp pieces of oneâ€" inch-thick steel plating were strewn about the area like torn paper. Fire officials said it was a miracle that nearby houses were missed. Superior Propane’s manager for supply and safety said he could find no explanation for the explosions in the charred rubble of tanks and debris. Vaughan Township Council. police and fire officials, and Superior Propane representa- tives met in secret in the town- ship h-awll Mon-day to discuss cause of the blast. Ontario Division Manager John Norris would make no comment to newsmen on how the holoéaust started. He told council his company is consid- ering compensating Maple resi- . dents for damage done to their homes in the blast. A tank car sitting on a siding was torn from its wheels and heaved loo-feet away. The rails were twisted into a crumpled hunk of steel. It then continued on busting‘ out a corner near the roof of the concrete-block building and scattered 20-foot-high piles of lumber in an adjacent lumber yard before stopping about 700 yards from the scene of the ex-‘ plosion. ‘ The tank section, 30 feet long and seven feet in diameter, flew through 'the air like a missile for over 1,400 feet. dem- olishing a l75~foot high silo of the Maple Feed Milsl, north east of the gas plan-t. Car Hit ‘ Two provincial policemen ispent almost an hour last week giving chase to eight young beef cattle on Highway 11. The cattle had strayed from pas- ture near Oak Ridges off the -farm of Ed Pakulatof Whit- fchurch Township. Council lauded the efficient work of Chief Davidson during the chaos and confusion that followed the first explosions. The chief was in the base- menit police office when the first blas't covered him with flying glass from shattered windows. Almost every window in the township hall was bro- ken and frames were twisted and bent. OPP Cowboys Chase Cattle On Highway The police officers and men from the farm folflowed the animals as far as St. Andrew's College, three miles north, be- fore rounding them up. No ac- cidents were caused by the cattle the tank between damaged "There were about 20.000 of them. blocking the roads and hampering the progress of res- cue vehicles and emergency workers," the chief said. “Lt \vas_ lucky more people were not injured. or their chances of recovery would have been severely jeopardized by this morbid ra-bble. Chief Davidson told newsmen he was appalled by the “hordes of morbid curiosity-seekers” who went to the scene of the inferno. The entire Vaughan force of 16 men were called out in an effort to get the looting prob- lem in hand. All the men work- ed without sleep for up to 48 hours, Chief Davidson said. He praised the tremendous eflorts of volunteer and regular firemen, many of them untrain- ed in fighting gas fires, who successfully contained the in- ferno to the company plan-t. “They did a marvellous job," “They did a marvellous job."‘ the chief said. 1 Richmond Him Police Chief; Robert Robbins was the firsti outside police official to arrive at the scene. He said he round- ed up all the police officers he could find when the first call came into his office. The town force handled the setting-up of most of the road- blocks in an effort to keep out sigh‘tseers. Two of the three Richmond Hill fire trucks, under Chief A, iStong, remained at the scene allâ€"night. Emergency Service An emergency service for Superior‘s customers has been set up. Trucks from other bvanches in the province have called in and holidaying emâ€" ployees were asked back to help organize the service.
