made and reported by state geolo-

whereas Mr.. Bibbins is not connected
in any manner with the state depart
ment but is a specialist in gas and oil
and was in this community as the
guest of private parties. The state
geologlst some years ago claimed tha.
no oil could be found in Garrett county
and published his paper upon the sub.
Ject in the report made that year to
the State authorities at Annapolis.
