ANOTHER ASSESSMENT.
Gas Companies to spend More Money
i'm Enforcing the Law.

James Murdoch, of Lafayette, chairman
of the general committee of manufacturers
and gas companies of the gas belt, which
has been lighting the oil operators since
last May, and II. b. Smith, of Hartford
CITY a member of the same committee,
were in the city yesterday in consultation
with the secretary of the committee, Mr..
Iandon of the Manufacturers Natural
Gas Company, and decided to recommend
that the committee make another assess
ment on all those who have contributed to
the expense of the fight so far, for the pur-
pose of pushing it more vigorously than
ever The committee has already spent in
the neighborhood of $500 in the enforce
ment of the fambeau law and for legal
services in establishing the constitutional
ity of the law which will prevent the oil
operators from wasting gas. The recent de-
cison of Judge Mcclure in the Madison
Circuit Court, in the opinion of the COM
mittee'S counsel. Mr.. G. c. Shirley, of ko-
komo, settles the constitutionality of the
law. SO far as the lower courts are con-
cerned and the way for the enforcement
of the sO-called penalty statute is now
clear. The committe also has two injunc-
ton proceedings in the courts, one against
the Standard Oil Company. and the other
against local operator in Madison county.
The money received from the second assess
ment which will now be made, will be
used in pushing these cases TO as early
decision as possible in the courts. The COM
mittee has been very much hampered up
to this time by the delays in the courts. but
now that the sentiment in the gas belt is
so thoroughly aroused to the necessity
of prompt action to prevent the further
waste of gas, it is believed that earlier ac-
ton can be obtained from the courts.
The committee believes that the present
law is broad enough to stop the waste of
gas If the courts could be induced to act
promptly. 1t does not believe it desirable
that special session of the Legislature
should be called. The reports from the gas
belt show that il is of great Importance
that the matter be thoroughly agitated in
Indianapolis papers. Every article in any
of these papers has been widely quoted and
has been of great influence in the gas belt.
The Importance of securing some prompt
action will be appreciated. when il is
known that the wells about Alexandria and
Elwood have lost about thirty-five pounds
pressure since the first oil well was drilled
in Alexandria last May.
