Texas Oil AHouunce
ToBe Slashed Again

AUSTIN, Oct. 7-P-Gov. Ross
Sterling announced last night that
the Texas railroad commission this
week will issue an order reducing
the east Texas oil field allowable
to $50 barrels to each well. He said
he had been told by members OF the
commission the reduction VOID be
made probably Friday.
Gov. Sterling said he was told
the new order, superseding the l85
barrel per well allowable now IN
effect, would be signed as soon as
all members of the commission
were in the city.
r. D. Parker, supervisor Of the
oil and gas division Of the COM
mission, said there were approx
mately 1900 producing wells in the
field which would make the daily
production $4,000 barrels, against
more than 100000 barrels recorded
recently.
The allowable was fixed at 225
barrels per well when Governor
Sterling permitted the field to flow
again after shutting 1t own COM
pletely under martial law TO con-
serve the pool and close off ramp
ant production.

DALLAS, Oct. 7-F1-The east
Texas oil field today had brimmed
again and flowed over the mark
of 1000 barrels daily set IS an
unofficial production limit but
members OF the Texas railroad
commission promptly assured Gov.
r. S. Sterling they W d take
steps toward further curtailment
in the huge oil pool.
That quieted fears OF oil men
that another production orgy might
follow, such as that last spring
which threatened the price struc-
tur of the American oil market.
They were more concerned imme-
diately with reports of salt water
intrusion in 10 wells on the west
ern edge Of the field.
Slash Assured
Gov. Sterling said last night he
had been assured by members Of
the railroad commission that the
allowable in the field would be
reduced from 1875 barrels per well
daily TO $50 barrels, as soon as all
members Of the commission could
reach the capital.
Figures announced Oct. 5 by
Brig. Gen. Jacob F. Wolters. mill

that day as 4O5 1888 barrels from
