oil men are trying to interest the
city council here in the proposal that

Inspiration for this move Is based
upon the claim that Woodsfield is on
top Of a big oil pool The contention
is strenEt hened rs the fact that q big
gusher, drilled next to the city ceme-
terry and within 500 feet OF the court
house, has been flowing intermit-
