So help me God. -/ Subscribed and sworn to before me this / Clerk - Village of Chubbuck To The Village Board of Chubb~ck January 11, 1966 We, the Petroleum Dealers of Chubbuck, ask that the Honorable Members of the Chubbuck Village Board, hear us out, consider our testimony, and attempt to render some solution to the problem that is certainly ours and which we also consider ~ problem of our community. This is a REGISTERING OW A COMPLAINT toward the manner in which the COin 0perat~~~ck ia~being, and has continually been operated, s~nce being changed to bhis type of operation. First, we submit the illegalities that exist in this oper- ation: The HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES LAW, prohibiting the handling of flamable substances in specific ways. There is nothing to stop anyone in the violation of this, good and reasonable, law. In case of fire on the premises or at the pumps,there is no one available or nothing to use to combat this menace. There are no fire extinguishers, no water, or even a telephone to make the calls necessary for these emergencies. Violations of the State Sales Tax Laws: We all must have sufficient re~rds of our sales, and submit our tax collections to the State Department by the 15th of each month following the month in which the tax was collected. Violation of Unfair Sales Practices: The owner and operator of the premises is a wholesaler and distributor of automotive products. Uses a ,John Doe' type of alias to cover his activi- ties and uses this outlet to disrupt the market and the economy of the entire area. Ne continually prices the gasoline on these pumps at below tank wagon prices, creating c~pletely unfair competition against the dealers that must buy the products from outlets such as his. Therefore, but are not allowed to be used by the public, the proper facilities needed that have become the American Motor Public's way of life. Namely rest rooms, water, air, and the proper checking and caring of the customer,s automobile to assure better visibility, checking for tire and brake safety, to minimize dangers ~ life and proerty of the driver and to that of all other people. This type of operation causes its own customers to become leeches on the other business men of the community in that they must go to these other business men to obtain the free services that are essential to the motoring public. There is absolutely no contribution to the community, from this type of business, and the small business man that is being hurt by this, has always been and will always be a very essential part of the community in our American way of life. We do not feel that this is an unethical procedure on our part since we are striving to save our businesses from what might be termed a bad cancer. We also take the feeling of security in the fact that two brothers of the owner of this place in question were amongst the leaders in a like objection having been voiced with the governing body of our Mother City on our south border, Pocatello, in the near past, and that the governing body there, did find good ~nd sufficient reason to disallow this type of operation within their city limits. Let it be noted that this group does not advocate the closure or elimination of this place, but that we do ask that proper legislation be enacted and enforced along with the existing laws pertaining to the handling of hazardous substances, in our comm- unity ~ud to our motoring public. We, the fellow competitors,o~ this business, do feel that we could keep our places open for business, and could exist ~n competition against this business if the unfair sales practices were discontinued and if the State and Fedemml laws were complied with, and if these businesses were required to comply with the health and safety rules of f~rnishing adequate rest rooms, water aud other facilities essential to the use of the motoring public.
