Report Receipts
From Offshore
Oil Leasing

Baton Rouge. - Louisiana Gov.
Robert Kennon last Thursday re-
ported the state has received a to-
tai of s43,931, 1881 from offshore
oil leases "since Congress returned
the tidelands to US with the help
of President Eisenhower"
He noted that the most recent
offshore lease sale which netted
almost $22 million was the largest
amount collected thus far by the
Mineral Board.
Gov. Kennon explained that the
figure does not include royalty
which the state will receive when
production actually starts. "Nor
does it include rental or severance
tax we will collect" he added.
