DRILLING GAS WELL
IN HEART OF TULSA
BRICK COMPANY HOPES TO
RUN THE KILNS ON.
STRIKE FUEL SUPPLY TO
One Producer, Several Years Old,
Now Located Few Yards
Away.

A gas well is being drilled almost
in the heart of Tulsa.
The well is being put down for the
Tulsa Nitrified Brick company on
that concerns property about hun
dred yards southwest of the Easton
street entrance to owen park. The
well is located twenty feet from the
tracks of the Tulsa street railway and
about one hundred feet from the
Katy railroad right-of-way. 1t is sur
rounded by factories, supply yards
and homes.
The brick company, whose plant is
located immediately south of owen
park, is hopeful of developing suffl-
cient gas to supply their fued for
many years to come. The fact that
there Is producing gas well, drilled
several years ago few hundred feet
from the new location, leads them
to believe that the test will not be u
failure.
The rig was erected without at
tracing much attention. Few people
gave it "a thought until last night
when the flaring gas jets around the
engine house caught the eye of auto
lists travelling thru owen park. In
vestigation developed the fact that
drilling started last night.
There is law against drilling n
gas or oil well within the corporate
limits of the city, but the brick com
pany,s property is outside the city
limits altho bordered on all sides by
property that is n part of the munich
pal corporation.

KENDALL ELECTION
FOR DECEMBER 28
Trustees Make Deal With
Bond Experts; $125,000
Issue Proposed.

A I meeting of the trutces of the
L y town OF Kendall last night It was
decided to hold a special election on
Thursday. December 2S. for the pur-
pose of voting bonds in the sum OF
s125.000 for public improvements.
Several bond buyers met with the
board. After some discussion con-
tract was entered into with George
w. and j. T.. Piersol of Oklahoma
City. represented by a. c. Hanson.
under the terms of which they are to
take the necessary legal steps and
conduct the special election. If the
bonds are voted they will be placed
upon tho market and sold to the
highest bidder.
The bonds will be voted on as fol-
lows: $4,000 for waterworks; S50,-
900 for sewers, $4,000 for parks, and
$4,000 for fire station and equip
ment.
The improvements will be installed
as soon as possible after the bonds
are sold and Kendall will then make
formal application to be admitted to
the city OF Tulsa. In the event this
is done, and everything now points
in that direction, the bonded indebt-
edness will be assumed by the city
of Tulsa.
II is the prevailing sentiment in
Kendall that the college section OF
the city proper is approaching a new
era that will mean much to that vi
cinity.

one Of the things that puzzle the

Diverse interests are probably pulling

one to make n valuable speculation off
OF the crying need OF the city for an
official home. These things. however,
should not prevent those officials from
getting clear. common-sense view
of the desirability and availability OF
the various sites in view. nor should
1t prevent them from taking the ac-
tion required to get things to going.
