There will be plenty of supervision

to making connection with the

CHAMBER ISSUES STATEMENT ON GAS SITUATION HERE

to be content with selling 100000
cubic feet of gas month, when he
has 15,OO0,O00 cubic feet of gas a
day to SELL
'1f Chickasha we're to take over
the output of the we'll, a market for
the surplus gas, or the gas which
Chickasha could not consume, would
have to be found If Mr. Nchlos got
the full benefit from the well. He
would have around 450,000,000 cubic
feet of gas to sell every month, bas-
ing the figures on the reported
volume the we'll is running. OF this
45O,O00,O0O cubic feet, Chickasha
could use 10,000,000. The only market
for the additional gas, would be the
Oklahoma Natural. This company
controls the natural gas situation in
this state. There will be other wells
drilled in the Nichlos area. The
operators will want gas for their
boilers, but the amount they would
use would be inconsequential as com
pared with the surplus Chickasha
would have on its hands.
There seems to be no other way
than to work toward the end of get
ting the Oklahoma Natural to con
meet with Chickasha. Everything
possible is being done to this end ant
the chamber feels that the efforts
will be successful"
