022370P.pdf   10/11/2002  R & M Oil & Supply  v.  John L. Saunders
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-2370
   Western District of Missouri   
   Civil Case - constitutionality of state statute. District court's 
   declaration that Mo. Rev. Stat. sec. 323.060.1 is 
   unconstitutional because it burdens interstate commerce and 
   provides minimal local benefit is affirmed. Requiring 
   persons engaged in bulk sale to propane to maintain and 
   operate minimum storage capacity of 18,000 gallons is not 
   overtly discriminatory but the local benefit actually derived 
   from the statute is minimal or nonexistent and thus is burdensome.
