Gas Containers
As the summer grass mowing
season arrives, College Station
residents are reminded of the city
ordinance limiting the type of
container which may be used to
carry flammable liquids.
E. F. (Woody) Sevison, College
Station Fire Marshal, says that
this law has not been strictly
enforced recently and "many res-
idents have forgotten, or are ig-
noring the existence of this law."
According to the 1962 ordi-
nance, "It is unlawful for the
owner or manager of any service
station, filling station, or dis-
pensing station, or the agents,
employees and servants of such
owner or manager to sell and dis-
pence or offer to sell and dis-
pence gasoline or any other flam-
mable liquids having a flash point
below 200 degrees Fahrenheit in
any type of container other than
a metal container equipped with
a cap or other similar device suf-
ficient to prevent the escape of
vapors.
Sevison said "some people are
using plastic containers to carry
such liquids and that it is un-
lawful."
The ordinance states that any-
one violating this ordinance will
be guilty of a misdemeanor. This
could lead to a fine of not less
than $10, or more than $200.
