HAuRE'S GAS
PROJECT NOW
UP T0JUDGES

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in the ap-
peal Of the Montana-Dakota Utili-
ties Co. to enjoin Havre from con-
structing a municipal gas system
has been heard in district court
and submitted for decision.
The city sought loan and grant
from the public works administra-
ton to build a plant and lines to
supersede the utilities company, now
supplying the city.
The utility lost its injunction pc
tition in Hill county district court.
In its appeal, the Montana-Dakota
maintained ~ their franchise is a
valuable property right and entitled
to protection from unlawful COM
petition; (2) a proposed bond issue
is Illegal because it never was sub
mitted to Havre voters: CD the
contract with the PWA runs more
than three years and is void because
1t was not submitted to a vote of
taxpayers; (4) the contract bet
tween the city and the trustee for
the proposed gas lines is void be-
cause the trustee is an employee of
the city.

compass with the Dubbs process
the features required for the pro-
ductlon of distinctive Socony-
Vacuum products.
The plant consists of combination

units, with a U.O.P. cata- |
lytic polymeriZation unit to make |
polymer gasoline from the cracked |
gas.
The units will have a rated crude
capacity OF $500 barrels a day, and
daily cracking capacity Of 2125
barrels. The poly unit will be de-
signed to process 100000 cubic
ieet OF gas per day.
The refinery is the result OF an
agreement among the Glacier Pro-
1uction Company, Socony-Vacuum
Dill company. and a group Of indie

the bit penetrated two feet into the
top of the Madison lime, the tools
were hurled up 200 feet by q rush
of gas pressure. They bridged at
that point and when the string Of
tools was removed it was found that
oil stood up 200 feet in the hole.
The formation was drilled only from
1928 to 1880 yet the crew took out
seven bailers of porous lime which
was apparently blown into the hole
from the producing formation.
Over night the oil rose 500
feet and the lime was treated with
1000 gallons of acid. The well
quickly returned the oil used in
treating and at last reports was
making between four and five
barrels per hour, with the proba-
bility that it will start off with a
production of from 125 to 100
barrels per day.

feet before getting a showing OF
water and bridged back to 1890 to
the first break in the lime, which
will be treated with hydrochloric
acid. The contact showed about
nine barrels of production, with no
water, and the first break" at
1890 is more promising. The Dahl
quist No. 8 flowed 10000 barrels
of oil in three weeks and then de-
veloped water. The Fulton well,
44O feet away, showed no water,
giving substantiation to the theory
that the No. is on or near a fault
or lime fracture, which allowed
water intrusion.
