I-V» Workers Fifteen hundred men worked throughout the winter of 1943-44, sometimes In temperatures as low as 35 degrees below to rush the re finery to completion in time to process the crude from the oil field as it arrived. It was necessary to design and construct a complete water dis tribution system for the needs of the refinery. Tank farms were laid out in pre paration for the storage of crude and the finished products. Work Is Begun On Yale's Line construction of the northern end of the 81-mile pipeline of Yale Oil Pipe Lines, Inc., from ' the Elk Basin and Frannie fields to Laurel and Billings, is now under way. The entire line is expected to be completed and in use by July. A. W. Hartwig, of Clovis, N. M., and Billings, is contractor for the line, which will include 51 miles of 8%-inch pipe and 30 miles of 6 inch pipe. Headquarters of the pipe-line company, a Delaware corporation, are at Billings.
