1t is pointed out that the measure
was framed pursuant to the request
contained in petition presented by

mlttee of the city council, the for
mer contending that taxcab rates
had not gone up in proportion to the
price OF everything else in Chicka-

tion of raising the rates or being
forced out of business.
In commenting on the question to-
day the mayor said, 1T occurs to
me that with the increased price Of
everything, this ordnance is not un-
fair to the public, but the mayor
and council are open to suggestions.
If the ordinance is not satisfactory,
we would like to know We are at
all times glad to receive suggestions

Depth; New Locations Made
and Work Started.

That the Caddo sand at 1900 feet
is by far the more productive of the
two pay sands discovered to date in
The Cement field is shown by the
latest performance of the Foster No.
in section 6-5-9, the second we'll to
be completed in this pay.
The Caddo No, 2, Rose farm, in
section 36-6-10, discovery we'll of this
shallow sand, is doing regularly
about $50 to 260 barrels 4 day The
performance of the Foster No. 2
since it has been put on the pump
is running close to the Caddo mark
The Foster is making at the rate Of
10 barrels an hour, or around 240
barrels a day. Despite the fact that
the other pay sand the Fortuna, is
found at from 23OO to 1850, its pro-
duction so far has failed, when set
tied to reach by 100 barrels the pro.
duction of the shallower pay.
Test Out West Side.
Another test for the west side is
to come in the near future at the
Central Producers No. 2, Walker
farm, if indications run true to form
The casing is set at 2245 and they
are to cement the pipe today. 1t is
an offset to the company's no.
well which pumps between IS and
100 barrels day. The company
has made its No. 2 l0caiter on the
Walker farm in the southwest of
the southwest Of section 1910
The Fortuna company's ninth well
is to spud in in the next few days.
1t is to be an offset to the old dis
covery gas well, which has been
turned into an oier and is in the
southwest of the southwest of sec
tion 1869.
Some anxiety is shown over the
outlook at the Roy-Homa outfit on
the Gregory Starkweather farm in
the southwest OF the southwest of
1860. The well did not produce in
the 1900 foot sand, either because
they missed the pay Or set the cas-.
ing too low. They are now 1888 feet
and only light sand with slight
showing has been encountered.
Two on Shallow Sand.
The Caddo sand is to get two test
ngs in the next few days at the Cad
do No. 8, Rowe farm in section 1856
10 and the Depositors in the same
section and just east of the Caddo
lease. They have both set the cas-
ing and cemented at around 1885 and
when the cement sets will test out
the Caddo pay. Caddo No. 8 is on
the west of the shallow pays dis
covery well while the Depositors is
nthe east, thus giving the sand a
test in two directions.
Much importance is attached to
these two tests with reference to the
Caddo sand as oil men expect them
to show the tread of this shallow
pay.
