ll 0,000 ISSUE TO BE
MATCHED BY GROUP OF
AI.BANV RESIDENTS
Albany re dent , who are quali-
fied property taxpayei . will go to
the poll; Tin day, Oct. I">, to vote
on a proposed .>10,000 bond i ue
for improvement at the Memorial
Park, which was recently purcha
ed by the city and i. to be impro\
ed.
The is.-ue, if approved, will bear
not more than :( percent, and will
he paid serially over a period of
20 and not more than 10 year.-.
The election was called after a
petition, signed by 10i> qualified
voters, had been pre.-ented the city
council.
A move was started in Albany
last spring to have the park site
improved at city expense. This
improvement, which called for a
swimming pool, was found impos-
sible, as the city could only issue a
limited amount of bonds .for park
purposes. Later a group of inter-
ested Albany people organized and
agreed to raise 110,000, or more
if necessary, to improve the park
if the citizens of Albany would
vote the $10,000 park improve-
ment bond issue, a figure within
the limits of the sum the city can
apply legally for park purpose-. It'
the city votes for the bonds, Al
bany will have at least $20,000
to spend on improving the park,
which will include a swimming
pool.

Ellenberger Fail*
In Lynch Test
Prospects for a new deep oil
pool in east Shackelford received
a severe setback when the Ellen-
berger wildcat on the Lynch Es-
tate, six miles east of Albany, fail-
ed to produce in test drilled by
Jones & Stasney-Roark & llooker-
S. li. Roberts in northwest corner
section !•, BAL, and is being plug-
ged at 1,501 feet total depth. The
Kllenberger was topped at 1,105
feet with only a slight odor and |
how not considered worthy of I
te.-ting, as test of the formation on
drill stem test recovered 820 feet j
of water.
The Caddo lime, which produces j
three miles southeast in the Ibex I
pool, was not considered produc-
tive in the test.
This dry hole was on the south-
east side of the Jones & Stasney
block of N,000 acres, being three
miles southeast of the Sanders
pool in the Ordovieian, and mid-
way bewteen that 5-well pool and
the Ibex pool in the Caddo lime.
The Lynch No. 1 was a half mile
southeast of the same operators'
No. 1 T. W. Graham.
Southeast of Ibex Phillips Pe-
troleum Co. No. 1 Elliott Bros, in
northeast corner of section 57,
BAL, Stephens county, is perfor-
ating the 4,000 foot Marble Falls
and the .'i.000 foot Caddo for pro-
duction possibilities after ceasing
to produce from Ellenberger, on
outside west well for the W'ild-El-
lenberger pool. When drilled, it
showed oil saturation in the Cad-
do. This ,-hould make a well in
the Caddo, as it is nearly south off-
set to the old Phillips producing
wells on section 50, BAL.
