MERIDIAN OIL Z GAS CO.,
Per w. n. Martin. Sec. Treas.
The Association decided that the
bringing in of oil was IN important
matter and that the attempt to do so
was entitled to support Of the peo-
pie. The following resolution was
passed:
That whereas the Meridian Oil and
Gas Company has been drilling for
oil in and around C11ington;
And whereas L has become neecs-
sary to raise additional funds in or
der for them to continue operations:
And believing, from the opinion Of
experts and practical men, that the
indications Of oil and gas strongly
justify that the present well, which
ID now at depth az 1850 feet,
should be continued to : depth OF at
5000 feet IN order that it may be
fully determined whether or not oil
and gas exist IN paying quantities in
this section;
And realizing that the finding Of
oil or gas in this territory will be Of
inestimable benefit to every man, wo-
man and child living In Covington,
and will greatly increase the value
Of all property;
Be It resolved. That we earnestly
urge the cooperation and financial
assistance and support of the bust
ness interests Of the town OF Coying-
ton IN order TO raise the sum Of two
thousand ($2.0O0) dollars, in order
that said oil we'll may be continued
to depth Of at least 5000 feet.

of Mr.. Wilson that the present was
