POUO REPORT — Dr. J. E. j sion in Delta, Franklin and Hop-
Peavy, State Health Comfission- kins counties.
Oil industry spokesmen split
down the middle on the propos-
ed rules. They say it is not pos-
sible to drill a vertical hole with-
out greatly adding to the cost.
Commission took proposals of
its own staff and of the industry
under study after a long hearing.
Ramsey said the Commission
should not add to industry's
drilling costs, because the public
pays them all.
But it was clear that the Com-
mission now will crack down to
make sure wells do not stray un-
der property lines.
SLANT OIL WELL SURVEYS
—Major and independent oil
producers have contributed a to-
tal of $306,709 for surveys to
find '•slanted” wells in Texas
fields, Attorney General Wilson
disclosed.
All but $40,000 has been used
Surveys to date have revealed
138 deviated wells in the Ea-t
Texas Field. 14 in Hawkins, one
in Quitman and one in Friends-
wood
The Railroad Commission plans
to run inclinati >n surveys on the
remaining wells which are sus-
pect —between 200 and 300 in
the East Texas Field alone. Wil-
son said.
PARKING — Parking around
the State Capitol always ha> l>een
a problem It's even more so
since several new state office
buildings have concentrated state
employment in the Capitol area
Much of the available space is
kept reserved for parking by
State Officials
Now Attv Gen Wilson has
ruled that the State Board of
Control, which is the housekeep-
ing agency around the Capitol,
has no authority to regulate
parking
Board members had hoped to
find they had the authority un-
der an old law on horses.
But Capitol parking regula-
tions by the Board of Control is
illegal. Wilson's ruling said. So
far, the Legislature never has
..i^ithorized the board to regulate
lurking.
