ing in any of the six states hAvinS 8
community property" laws may. in
rendering separate income tax re-
turns. each report as gross income
onc-half of the income derived from
the community property.
Division of community propsrty for
income tax purposes is permissible,
the Attorney General said, in Wash

Internal revenue bureau officials

turn of surtaxes on such income which
had been enormously collected in
past years.

Will Hunt Oil and Gas in All
Parts of State
Academy of Sciences Under
takes Survey i'm Search Of
Hidden Wealth

A survey Of oil and gas possibilities
in virtually the entire State is being
made by the petroleum section of the
Maryland Academy of Sciences. 1t is
designed to ascertain if the subterranean
wealth of neighboring States is also to
be found in Maryland.
Despite the lack of encouragement in
Government reports issued from time to
time, DR., Arthur B. Bibbins, geologist
and chairman of the petroleum section
feels that there is sufficient possibility
of oil and gas deposits to warrant careful
investigation and, in some places. drilling.
Traces of oil or gas, or both, already
have been found in Garrett, Allegany,
: Washington, Wcomico. Frederick, St.
Mary's and other counties. DR.. Bibbins
said Tuesday. He is not convinced that
any of these offer commercial possibilities
The petroleum section, which began work
some time ago, is keeping in touch with
the operations. The survey report which,
DR.. Bibbins says, will be limited to plain
facts and "suggestions' az to where oil
/ and gas might be found, will not be
ready for some months.
The latest "discovery' is on the farm
of Caleb c. Merritt near Thurmont, in
Frederick County. Indications of oil are
said to have been observed there about
three years ago.
Upon examinations made in the past
year DR.. Bibbins found oil seepage. He
has made ''preliminary statement" to
Mr. Merritt and in few days will go to
| Thurmont to make another examination,
after WI lich his report will be made.
Il cann,t tell until have made my
examination whether oil really is there"
said Dr. Bibbins, but am inclined to
think there is. AS to commercial guam
titles, that can be learned only by drill
ing.
The seepage, DR.. Bibbins explained,
indicated oil somewhere in the vicinity.
He thought the "seepage rock" from
which the surface traces come, might be
found at about 900 feet. This, he added,
would not necessarily indicate that flow
could be found at that depth, if at all.
Conservatism time and again has held
up the development of oil sections, . said
DR.. Bibbins in speaking of possibilities.
Then some fool has come along, taken
chances, and found oil deposits. don't
want some one 80 years from now to tell
US there is oil under all the State, when
we did not take Il g trouble to look"
Drilling operations are being carried
on in St. Mary's county and at place
between Baltimore and Washington, DR..
Bibbins said. He ventured no opinion as
to their commercial value.
DR.. Bibbins is financing the investiga-
ton being made by the academy, funds
not Icing available from any other
source.-Sun.
