The cases of the State of Indiana against
the Ohio Oil Company have reached the
Supreme Court again from the Madison Cir
cult Court These are the cases in which
the oil company was enjoined from carry
ing on operations which led to the waste
of natural gas, and in which the State
sought to enforce penalty against the de-
PENDANT company for allowing such waste.
The cases were in the Supreme Court re-
rentIy on demurrerS to the complaints
The demurrers were overruled and the ac-
ton of the lower court was sustained Now
the oil company has filed answers to the
complaints and the trial court has sus-
tanned demurrers to them. The oil company
claims that it operates remote from villages
and towns, and that there is no way to
prevent gas escaping in oil production.
Without the right to allow the gas to waste
the business would have to stop, it is
claimed, and owners of oil-producing lands
would not be able to develop the field and
produce the oil.
