California
Crude Price
Up Is Cents

California black oil producers re
ceived price increase ranging up to
% cents per barrel from OPA this
week Fuel oils went up % cents with
a graduated increase for heavy erudes
Crude asphalt prices were increased
sl40 per ton. Prices for domestic fuels
were unchanged. Says the OWL press
release:
"These actions viii result in a sub
stantial increased income to California
refiners The Office Of Price Admins
tration is undertaking a study of re
fined oil prices on the Pacific Coast
with a view to "a comparable reduction
in the prices of lighter petroleum pro
duets" The words comparable reduc
ton" are not explained. The announce
ment continues:
"The price increase is expected to
bring about a substantial increase in
the production Of heavy erudes by per
hitting producers fair return on CAPT
tai invested in drilling new wells and
in rehabilitating old wells"
OPA illustrates the increases as fol
lows: "The old maximum price Of Is
gravity crude produced in the Signal
Hin field was 6s cents a barrel With
% cents added, the new ceiling price
win be % cents a barrel. But the exist
ing price for II gravity crude is only
IS cents per barrel. Therefore the maxi
mum price for crudes of II degrees and
other gravities for which existing prices
are under SO cents receives n new cell
ing in that field Of SO cents barrel"
The increases on residual fuel oils
apply in the state of California, Wash
ington and Oregon.

Third Well
Is Seeking Out
GusE1er Trend

The first two efforts TO locate the
trend" which gave Glacier Production
Co. its sensational MaeGuiness flowing
web in North Cut Bank failed this
week, but third wen is starting in the
belief that more 400-barrel wells are to
be had for the drilling.
Nose wagner's Pierce No. 1, north of
the MacGuiness had a good showing of
oil in the sunburst sand, but after
casing was cemented the showing dis
appeared, apparently due to the fact
that the showing was in the top two
feet of the formation. The well was
abandoned without testing the lower
Cut Bank horizon.
Southwest of the MacGuiness, r. c.
Tarrant's Heintz No. found no oil,
but $500, 0O0-foot flow of gas in the
Sunburst sand and continued drilling to
the lower Cut Bank, where the gas flow
has increased to 4,00O,OOO cubic feet per
day.

northwest of the Wagner well, to start
another test located two miles north of
the MacGuiness producer.
This was very bad week for Nose
Wagner. In addition to a dry hole, he
suffered the loss of rig which burned
over the Santa Rita-Lundgren No. 3
hole. A flow of gas at 1710 feet caused
the blaze. This is the third rig Wagner
has lost from fire during the past two
years.

Council Considers
Taking Mob Hill
Into City Limits
New addition to have
sc new residences; adds
to city's valuation

It looks like the city Of Kenne-
wick was getting the best end Of
a deal proposed last Tuesday mite
at the council meeting when the
proposed Green Homes Addition
H"'eed for admission into the city
limits.
The proposal stated that the
new construction company pro-
posed to erect sc new residences
on a tract Of land on Mob Hill
just east Of town, outside the city
limits. Only hitch in the pro-
posal was that finances could not
be obtained for projects outside
the city limits. Therefore they
sought admission as part Of the
city.
The company said in its pro-
posal that the entire addition OF
Sc new residences would be con-
stpucted, each with a suitable
grass plot extending for at least
ten feet to the rear Of each build
ing, would plant a shade tree on
each front lawn, would install
sidewalks, curbs and streets, con-
struct sewer extensions, water and
light service and all in all make
the addition credit to the COM
munity. All asked Of the city was
the maintenance Of the streets,
fire hydrants and the use Of the
water and sewer systems.
The deal looked good TO the
council, since maintenance was
the only cost, other than an cleo
ton which must be held TO ratify
their action. The further fact
that the assessed valuation Of the
city would be increased by nearly
a quarter of a million dollars was
also a factor.
However, the whole deal will
hinge upon the report TO be SUBJ
mitted shortly by a firm Of engi-
neers who have been hired to
make a survey Of the sewer system
to ascertain capacity, proposed ex-
tensions and enlargements.
