After the adoption of the above res
olution there was considerable discus
sion as TO the best means Of enforc-
ing the same within the Duncan field
and in order TO bring closer co-opera-
tion between the operators of the
Duncan field and the central com

tion, II appeared to be the sense of
the meeting that separate sub-com-
mittee On conservation and concila-
ton should he appointed for the Dun
can field
Thereupon it was moved by Morris
that the central committee on conser-
vation and Cancellation be petitone1
to appoint a subcommittee for the

the rules and regulations for the pre-
vention OF waste in the Duncan field,
report and make recommendations TO

and Cancellation of the Duncan field:

can, Oklahoma
| The next subject to come before the
meeting was whether or not pipe
line connection should be made with
the discovery wells in the north Dun
can field. A number of those present
expressed their views and it was
pointed out that these were wildcat
wells drilling in what was believed
to be gas territory and were, there
fore, entitled to connection with the
pipe line. Mr.. w. II. Francis, repre-
senting the Magnolia Petroleum Com
pany, stated that his company was
in a position to take care of the oil
