Gas Well Prospects.
Prospects for gas well by the
Keechi company look good at the
oompany's location on the Day farm
in section 1868. They are slightly
below the 5000 foot mark and are
having hard time to get the gas
flow mudded in until they can drill
to the desired depth.
Operators in the field as we'll as
citizens of the entire Cement dis
trict are pulling" for a big gasser
at this place, view Of the fact that
the gas supply in tho Cement field
is nearly exhausted owing to the fact
that all tho gassers, or practically
all of them, have turned to oil. Gas
for fuel is badly needed in the field
as we'll as in the town OF Cement.
Prairie Getting We'll,
The Prairie Oil and Gas company
is getting well in section 1863
They are down over 2200 feet and
the test is showing considerable
fluid. A well at this location, which
seems a certainty now, would ma
terially extend the development on
the west side of the Cement field
1t would help connect the string of
production between the west and
east extensions of the field and open
new territory for operations.
Adding to its volume of production,
the 1nvincible company is bringing
in well in section 6.5-9. This com

increased its production until 1t

WONDER HOW REFUND
WOULD RE MADE TO
CITY'S TAXPAYERS

Officials Of Wayne county and OF
the city Of Richmond are at sea over
the action Of the supreme court Of In
diana in ruling Wednesday that the
state board Of tax commissioners had
exceeded its authority when it or
dered horizontal tax increases last
August.
The courts ruling means that all
the taxpayers in Wayne county have
been assessed more tax than the state
has a right to collect from them, and
that they are technically entitled to
refunds.
mo Blood From Beets"
What puzzles the county and city
officials is the question of where the
county government or the city govern
ment could procure funds to make set
Elements of refund claims on over
payments of tax.
"You can't get blood out of beet"
was the way one county officer put it.
The tax monies which have been
collected since the horizontal tax in
crease was authorized last fall have
been spent or must be used to meet
obligations.
This being the case, it has been
pointed out, about the only method by
which a fund could be raised for the
purpose of refunding over-payments
of tax would be to levy a special tax
for that purpose, and, of course, this
would give no relief to the taxpayers.
See Relief From Legislature
Officials are looking to the state
legislature. which convenes next
week, to provide some remedy for the
situation.
1t is understood that a number of
large taxpayers in sending in their
checks for tax payments wrote across
the checks, Paid under protest"
Whether these taxpayers will now
attempt to recover their overpayment
Of tax by bringing suit to call in their
protested checks remains to be seen.

cooperative agency of 80 protestant
denominations, was up for decision
here today before the general commit

parts of the country.
Failure of the movements campaign

s336,777,572 fund sought for denomina-
tional work. coupled with the recent
withdrawal Of the Northern Presby-
terian and Northern Baptist Denomina-
tions from the movement, has caused
some leaders to favor abandonment of
the project altogether.
Three alternatives presented to the
general committee today by the busi-
ness mems committee. appointed June
% to take emergency charge OF the
organization, were:
Winding up the affairs of the move
ment forthwith; continuing operations
for a brief period, but on a radically
changed basis; and reorganization of
the movement along lines that may be
suggested by the denominations them
selves.
Levi Pennington head Of the
Friends forward movement, is in New
York attending this conference.
