JIONSVILLE TO GET 5800,000 REFINERY

5000-Barrel-a-Day Plant To Bring 50 Families.

Rock Island Refining Co. plans to spend approximately $800,000 in building the proposed 5000-barrel-a-day refinery north of the city, it was learned today. The company has established offices at ZiqQnsville and workers have begun clearing a 160-acre tract on the northeast corner of 86th and the Big Four Railroad.! Bids for construction of a large office building, and two service buildings in addition to the refining and pipe equipment are ex-| pected to be received within a few days. | Rock Island’s refinery will be the first refinery to be established in Marion County. Its location is approximately two miles south of Zionsville and one mile south of the Shell Petroleum Co.'s pipeline terminal and storage plant, also on the Big Four. Plans are being made by indapendent contractors to build approximately 50 low cost dwellings in the vicinity of Zionsville to care for the 50 families expected to be brought here as a result of the new Rock Island project.
