1t is understood that work on
both plants Is to get under way
within q short time, arrangements
having been completed for both
units. Fair is represented in the

Summers.
Fair, who i associated with Col.
j. F. Lucey in production from go
wells in East Texas and who was
advised while on q recent visit in
the Valley OF completion Of a
2,500-barrel well on some OF his
holdings in Roumania, has oper-
ated in various Texas fields for the
past several years. His new well
in Roumanina Is located on a 5000
acre block and Is producing from
a depth Of 1900 feet.
The HarlIngen refinery will en-
ploy approximately IS men, it is
stated. and the skimming plant
near Sullivan City about the same
number.
1t is believed that no effort will
be made by the refinery interests
to market the gasoline produced In
the Valley under their own brand
or trade name, but that arrange
ments will be made with the major
oil companies now located here to
take the gasoline produced.
Fair has made several trips TO
the Valley and carefully surveyed
the oil situation in company with
Holland. Location OF the refinery
and skimming plant In the Valley
is taken as another sign that the
future Of the Valleys several oil
fields may be considered as assured.
