Well Being Dug
For Mt. Lake Park

Workmen are engaged in digging
a well this week in Mt. Lake Park
to augment the water supply there.
Several Mt Lake Park residents
are without a water supply for a
portion of each day, apparently be-
cause of the limited supply, There
is plenty Of water at the source,
but the pipeline leading to the
town apparently is not large
enough to carry the amount needed
The additional well is calculated
to provide water for reservoir
within the town of Mt. Lake Park
that will give the needed additional
supply.

type of machines to purchase.

Disputed Gas Bill
Item Termed Error

Members of the subcommittee of
the Legislative council were in
formed that an item relating to
common purchasers of gas was err
roneously included in mimeo-
graphed copy of the proposal re-
ceived recently, and does not APP
pear in the printed copy of the bill
which goes into the Legislative
Councils report to the General AS
sembly.
Further Qualification was re-
ceived in a letter from r. Lee Ben
son, assistant director of the de-
partment. Benson said Section
648FF as drafted relates to com
mon purchasers of gas. This was
verbatim copy of section ASH
taken from Senate Bill 470 of 1855,
introduced by Senator Clifford
Friend, of this county
This section, he explained, was
copied by mistake for Section ASH
of Senate Bill 319 Chapter 613 of
1889. The latter section relates to
the power of the Department of
Geology, Mines and Water Re-
sources to enforce by injunction
any violations of proposed gas laws
or any rules or regulations prOmul-
gated by the Department under
these laws.
The oil and gas bill has been
printed to go into the Legislative
Councils report to the General
Assembly and Section 648FF there
appears as the section relating to
injunctivc relief.
At no time did the Oil and Gas
committee approve the insertion of
any common purchaser provision,
Benson pointed out. AlleGany coun-
ty representatives had insisted dur
ling deliberations which resulted i'll
!
the bill, that regulations of COM
mon carriers should be handled by
separate bill and not Jumped with
the drilling control measure. Each
should stand on its own merits,
they said The bill which was
worked out by the committee in
cludes these provisions:
Regulation of gas wells by De
partment of Geology, Mines and
Water Resources.
EXEMPTION OF gas storage com
paniee from al reqUiTCT77cf.t-=-- OK
cept obtaining of permits from

Wells to be spaced no nearer
than 500 feet to boundaries, except
by agreements with adjacent owner,
and less distance on small sized
land, with the distance between
wells on meeting the boundary dis
lance to be determined by the De-
partment.
Provision for release of all leased
land in a pool not receiving royal
ties after six months.
All gas taken from wells to be
metcrcd.
The bill has been prepared so
that there be adequate regulations
of gas well drilling to protect the
state and its citizens.

The Golden Gate And The Yosemite
Valley AS Seen By A Shaw Student
BY Gary LOTUS

A boy who was as fortunate as
! might consider the opportunity
of attending the American Legion
Buckeye Boys State for ten days
a summer in itself. Not only was
| able to share that exciting and
never-to-be-forgotten experience
with almost a thousand other boys,
but, after attending that wonder
full institutions, / was to embark
on the most exciting and wonder
full journey of my life to now. l
was going to travel throughout our
own great western lands and then
continue on to fascinating old
Mexico.
The first portion Of my travel
was different to me, For the first
time | flew in an airplane Cleve-
land to San Francisco. There / met
my family who had travelled across
the country at a more leisurely
pace. Ny father attended Nation
al Kiwanis convention and they
reached the Golden Gate by way of
the Black Hills, Yellowstone Ma
tional Park and Salt Lake City.
There was so much to see and
so little time to see it In the
Golden Gate. The most fascinating
place by far was San Francisco's
famous Chinatown. Here is a city
within a city, an Oriental boat
upon a Western sea. One feels as
though he is entering a foreign
country as soon as he crosses the
street and enters this unique and
different town. A certain exotic
air prevails, an air of mystery and
excitement.
Chinatown is a city Of contrasts
from the quiet merchant in his
humble shop to the chattering
vendor selling his wares in an
open stand on the corner. This is
city where people cling to GUS
toms centuries old, place un-
contaminated by Western influ-
ences. Here is a jewel in golden
crown, here is Chinatown.
Included in my hurried tour Of
this exciting city of San Francisco
was a windy trip around the Bay
area on a Harbor steamer.
The Bay cruise highlight came
when the Golden Gate bridge was
viewed in all its geometric beauty
with the setting of the fiery sun
reflecting from every bolt and
rivet. Also the magnificent master
piece of mans ingenuity, the Oak
land Bay bridge, could be studied
in great detail from my vantage
point upon the decks of the steam
er. The beautiful example of en-
also reflected the golden
rays of the setting sun.
We left this city of the Golden
Gate though beautifully wooded
rolling hills to the south. After
the coastline Of the
sparkling blue Pacific for some
distance we crossed the level ex-
panse of the broad San Joaquin
Valley and entered the foothills
of the towering Sierra Nevada
in the distance.
There was reward for travelling
the twisting mountain road that
followed the rushing, turbulent
Merced River. The road may be

Deaths TotuI 424
In Holiday Traffic,
Short of Estimate
By tn. Associated Press

The Nations traffic death toll
for the three-day Labor Day
week end had climbed above 400
today but the National Safety
Council said it apparently would
fall far short of its advance
estimate Of 480.
The traffic death total for the
holiday week end from 6 pm
Qocal timel Friday until mid
ni1kt Monday was 424. Also, 8S
drawings and II deaths in mis-
cellaneous accidents were re-
ported, for an overall violent
death toll Of 583.
Late reports trickled in, but
the declining rate of traffic fatal
tiles encouraged Ned H. Dear
born. Safety Council president.
He said:
"At the present rate, the final
toll should be far short of our
prediction of 48O deaths. We
stand a good chance Of finishing
below the record Of 46l deaths
in 1851 and a fair chance OF
going under last years figure
OF 438."
The record traffic toll for any
holiday period was 609 in the
three-day Christmas holiday OF
1855.

1t is apparently caused in chill

The big danger in the disease is
not the disease itself, but the
inability of the victim to throw
off normally minor infections of

At the Clinical Center, doctors

ment of the disease toward pre-
vention Of these minor infections
