uatian and PrUdHt ton Throughout the
State Ot Louisiana.
The gas situation in Eossicr Parish is
satisfat tory. except for the fact that the
wild well located in the Elm Grove field
of that parish, known as White Brothers
No l. is still wasting large quantities of
gas.
This situation is an unfortunate one
and the Department has exercised every
means to remedy it. at considerable
nf without
For some time past we have been of the
opinion that another WELL located about
1890 feet away, is responsible for the
flow of gas in the crater of the White
Brothers we'll. and had instructed that
this we'll should he taken over by the
State. to either prove or disprove our
theory We were unable to do this. how
ever, due to the fact that an injunction
was taken out against the Department,
and the matter is now pending In the
courts. We hope ut an early date to have
the matter fully Strengthened out. 1t is
the opinion of the Department that the
Bossier field is very valuable to the State
and that it's supply should be properly
| conserved.
1 have recently instructed that all pro-
ducing wells be furnished with meters
| SO that we can keep accurate reports as
| to the amount of gas taken from each
well and can regulate the amount taken
| SO as not to cndanger the life of the
| field. NJ L. ALEXANDER
