Ever since the publication of the

cradle discussion Of the levy among
the taxpayers of Cakes. Since slight
ly more than half of this years taxes
goes into the treasury of the school,
the school tax levy has occupied the
center Of the stage in much of this
discussion There has been so much
misunderstanding and misinformation
in this connection that Clerk Ferber
Of the board Of education and Superin-

hcial records of the district some facts
in regard to the finances Of the dis
trict that will be Of interest to its
taxpayers, as giving them authentic
figures upon which to base their opin-
ions and decisions.
In the first place, it is pointed out
that while the school tax rate has in
creased greatly over that Of the pre-
ceding year, other taxes have also
shown big increase. The school
taxes are responsible for less than two
thirds Of the, increase in the oalees

MILLION AND HALF GOES
into NORTH OIL FIELD
This Is Estimate of Sum to Be Put Into Area
Before Season Ends; Nine Producers
in Commercial Quantities.

lease, which is In territory which will
be developed within the next year"
The report continues:
while a considerable amount of oil
and gas now produced is used in the
field for drilling and camp purposes.
there is a considerable amount of gas
blowing off from several of the wells.
This constitutes a waste which will
soon amount to a considerable money
value, as the various gas pockets will
soon be depleted and thereafter the
development Of the field will suffer
from the loss of this gas for drilling
purposes.
Gas is much more convenient for
power and camp purposes than crude
oil and even if the gas development is
never sufficient to warrant construe-
ton of pipe lines for it's transportation
to a point where it could be sold. its
use in the field displaces the use of a
considerable barrelage Of crude oil. the
marketing facilities. of which have al
ready been provided.
Fuel Drilling Survey
"a quarter Of a million feet Of gas a
day will easily operate the steam boiler
for n drilling rig and the camp for
one crew. This same service requires
ABOUT 10 DdTfeiS Oh CTuuS OIL d DAY
and as the drilling on one well and its
care until placed on the pump power
requires never less than 80 to As work
ing days, the use of gas saves not less
than $1,000 worth of oil for each well
drilled. The waste Of this natural re
source by earelessness in not shutting
in the gas wells of this field is a direct
loss TO the state, which should be
prevented"
Concerning the investment already
made in the field or to be made before
the end of this season. Adams said:
THE "a companies now operating in
the Kevin-Sunburts field will have ex-
| pended by the end of this season not
less than $4,000 for organization, en-
cheering, geological, legal and admin
istrative expenses. There have been
spent approximately $3.50, 600 for leases
and there will have been spent approx
mately $4,000 in the development"

Helena, Oct 22.-(By The Assodat-
ed Press.J--More than S1,5OO,O0O will
have been spent in the Kevin-Sunburst
oil field of Montana by the end of this
season, in purchase of leases, drilling
and in Organization of companies, ac-
cording to Carl G. Adams, who has re-
turned from a survey of the district as
field assistant to the state board OF
equalization.
Nine wells are producing oil in COM
merciaI quantity IN the field and eight
are producing gas in marketable vol
ume, according to Adams. Sixty-one
%operations in the field, in one stage
or another, are sufficiently advanced
hat they may be counted on to COM
pIete their wells. Of these six have
finished their drilling and removed their
rigs, while Is have completed their
wells but have not yet taken away
their rigs. Adams report says:
Nine Producers In Field
Nine wells are producing oil in com
mercial quantities, their total daily pro-
duction being $40 barrels, or an aver
age of IS barrels daily for each well
Eight are producing gas in commercial
quantities, with a total daily flow OF
approximately 100000 cubic feet.
Fifteen wells are now drilling In
the field, nine outfits are shut down,
IL additional rigs are up and the ma
terial is on the ground at locations for
nine more rigs.
There are 111,62o acres under lease
In the field, according to the report
of which &c, $50 are held by local com
panies and the remainder by interests
outside of the state. In addition, it is
estimated that between $4,000 and 60
600 acres of potential oil PRODUCING
land is held by individuals, either the
fee owners of the premises or by out
