al persons Interested, on the petition filed
by the attorney general, which petition is

"Figst: That the defendants, the Cor
sicaua Petroleum Company and many
others, persons, firms and corporations,
are engaged i'm producing crude petroleum
i'm Carter and jefferson Counties i'm Okla
homa, i'm what is commonly known as the
Hcaldton oil field, and that the aggregate
amount of such production is approXi-
mately eighty thousand barrels per day;
that many of such producers are now en-
gagged i'm drilling other wells which Will
greatly increase such production.
Second: That the amount now being
produced is greatly iu excess of trauSpor-
tation and marketing facilities i'm said
field, and i'm excess of the market de-
mauds therefor, and is therefore causing
great economic waste,
G) Because Of OVcyprOduCtou. as afOre-
said, the reasonable market value of said
oil Is not being paid and cannot be OBJ
u1itted to produce from the oil sands such
large quantities of oil and dispose of
same at a price far below its intrinsic
value and lower than other similar oils
in the United states.
(b) Because the Magnolia pine Line is
at present the only means of transport
ing said oil to other markets beyond the
state ana us rates rs a common carrier
its use great economic waste is incurred
to the nroducer ana tho etata nc eaiJ
