Humble Oil & Refining Com-

distributed to shareholders and
employees, reflects the pres-
sures exerted on the domestic
petroleum industry last year by
sluggih demand, burdensome
inventories, and excessive im-
ports. I

The World at Night

And look into the moon's dim

Morgan J. Davis noted in his
letter to shareholders, "arc evi-
dent from the fact that dry
hole costs represented about 45
per cent of the total expendi-
tures on drilling.”
Humble’s natural gas sales
and proved reserves continued
to grow with revenue from gas
sales up about 23 per cent.
“Fortunately, rapidly increasing
local demand for gas promises
greater outlets for Humble’s
production,” Davis said. “Com-
pletion of a 30-inch gas line
from Southwest Texas to the
Houston area this year will
place thte company in a good
position to supply demands of
large industrial customers in
the Texas Gulf Coast.”
Humble’s net production In
1958 averaged 332.200 barrels
daily of crude oil and natural
gas liquids, the owest level since
1950. Operations of the Baytown
refinery and of Humble Pipe
Line Company were also below
the previous year, but both
showed a definite recovery in
the fourth quarter.
During the year. Humble com-
pleted additional facilities at
Baytown for the manufacture of
petrochemicals, including one of
the world's largest benzene

during the first half of the year
were sharply below 1957 levels.
There was considerable im-
provement during the second
half, but earnings for the en-
tire year were down over $39,-
000,000.
Net income for 1958 dropped
to $136,543,200, or $1.89 a share.
This represented a return of
about 10 per cent on the share-
holders’ investment, which at
the end of the year amounted
to $1,390,000,000. Dividend pay-
ments were $1.40 a share.
The report shows that the
taxes paid by Humble last year
to federal, state, and local gov-
ernments amounted to $110,864,-
000. This total tax bill included
excise taxes on products sold,
production and ad valorem tax-
es, and federal income taxes.
Humble reduced its capital
expenditures from $235 million
in 1957 to $155 million in 1958.
This change was the result of
less drilling and of smaller out-
ays on manufacturing and mar-
keting. In addition, the Com-
pany also spent $93 million on
exploration activities.
Humble drilled 557 explora-
tory and development wells in
1958, or 310 fewer than the year
before. “The high risks encoun-
tered in drilling,” President

: “I is difficult to believe that
railroad workers, performing
highly-important service in one
pf the nation’s principal indus-
tries, are still denied those mod-
ern-day conditions — benefits
which nearly all other workers
enjoy today,” declared Kennedy.
The BRT’s top officer assert-
ed that representatives of rail-
road management, who are
busily engaged nowadays con-
ducting a vicious campaign to
turn public opinion against rail
mployes by unfairly charging
them with “feather-bedding” on
the job, never mention those
outdated conditions under
which “rails” must toil.
“The railroads see fit now.”
