Victory in Gasoline Tax
Suit Permits Start on
100000 Program.

The 100000 Federal street i'm
provement program, made possible
by settlement of the city-county
gasoline tax cases, is to be carried
out only in those sections of the
city where property is unable to bear
the normal assessment costs, Ernest
Prick, Works Board secretary. said
today.
In more prosperous communities,
the Works Board will charge part of
the Improvement costs to property
owners and not use Federal funds,
he said. This policy, he pointed out,
was decided on by the board sew
eral months ago.
A compromise agreement reached
by city and county officials released
$134,000 in gasoline tax funds to the
city which previously had been tied
up by litigation. With this money,
Mayor Kern announced, the city will
be able to match funds provided in
a blanket Federal grant.
WPA Labor. to Be Used
The city is to furnish equipment,
supervision and material, and WPA
labor is to be used.
Judge Arthur C. Van Duyn of the
Hancock Circuit Court at Green
field, yesterday ruled in favor of the
city in the gasoline tax suit brought
by the county. The county con-
tended the city is receiving an I'M
fair amount of gasoline money. The
state law permits it half of the
county's apportionment.
A compromise agreement pre-
viously reached by officials of the
two governing bodies will be carried
out. Walter G. Boetcher, city con-
troller, announced following the de-
ciSion.

OF several heavy duty highway ma
chimes by the city to the county in
return for the county's consent to
discontinue the contest over appor-
tionment of the gasoline tax funds.

tutes $50 bonds for the House bill
to pay by Treasury check. But any
veteran would be able to take his
bonds to the nearest postoffice and
get cash. The postoffice, in turn,
would get the cash from the Treas
ury. The question is where the
Treasury will find the money.
However the money is raised. Mr..
Roosevelt's week-old budget is as
dead today as the budget of 1876.
1t depends on so many unknown
quantities that it has ceased to
mean anything. One is the work

FULTON GOES
AGAIN FOR 4

Again working for ''meaI

campaign for a fortune, this
time in Pondera oil field.
The well is known as Fulton
Price No. 1. I'm SIC NEA NE5z
18-27-4W, i'm northwest Pom
dera.
After having drilled 81 eonsecu-
tive dry holes, each time playing
wildcats for large stakes, Fulton
decided to abandon his search for
gushers and to be content with 10
barrel bumpers in Kevin-Sunburst
field, ito get a meal ticket" He
drilled two small wells. The third
one was a gusher that produced a
million dollars worth of oil during
the first Is months. That was in
1925. He again plunged on Wild
cats and lost a fortune.
Returning to contracting. Fulton
was stuck with the discovery
well on Pondera when the Cali
fornia promoters could or would
not pay him. While everyone else
thought it a failure, Fulton took a
lease on some State lands and again
came into a fortune. Again he
plunged on wildcats. met with a
nearly fatal accident and again lost
everything.
Again back to contracting, he
drilled a well for Portland interests
ia the north end Of Pondera and
opened up a new area of production
which had been considered disprov-
en-. Now he is again going ION his
own" with a well down 1880 feet |
on the Price farm. He Is running |
a cave string and expects to reach
the Ellis sand next week Fulton /
believes that through the science
of acidization the producing area
and ultimate yield Of Pondera will /
be more than doubled. He has ex-
tensive acreage in the proven north
xtension-enough to make him a
greater fortune than any of his
earlier successes.

Movement OF Cut Bank crude to
Regina via the Great Northern rail-
way, ending the period of complete
cessation during the winter months
will resume next week. It became
known today through Montana Pipe
line company, at Coutts, Montana
buyer OF Imperial oil company.
This will serve to reduce the
psychological fear OF growing stor-
age in Cut Bank field, oil buyers
say. although It does not mean i'm
mediate raising of the so per cent
until the Canadian
are again running an
amount OF oil equal to the produc-
ton OF the field.
Independents continue the con-
struction of field storage and there
is considerable unrest in Cut Bank
as a result of the fact that some
producers have been running 100
per cent, others have been running
SO per cent and others have no mar
ket for any OIL A demand upon the
Montana oil conservation board 20
take hand in the matter is being
voiced in Cut Bank but has not
reached formal presentation. An
early spring in Canada may mean
that no formal program OF curtail-
ment will be necessary.
