Decision in Border Oil Cases
To Be Handed Down in June
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. Apr. 30.—
A decision affecting leases valued at
millions of dollars in the south half
of the Red River oil field, on the Ok
lahoma-Texas border, is being pre
pared by Secretary Work and his
assistant, John H. Edwards, and will
be made public about June first.
Many oil companies with thousands
of stockholders in all parts of the
country are interests.
There are 178 applications for per
mits and leases involved, only 16 of
which are not conflicting. A*hearing
of claimants occupied nearly two
months and was the longest in the
department’s history.
When the field was taken over as
a result of a Supreme Court decision
declaring it public land, many of the
claimants already had begun drilling
wells. The department’s findings
will hinge largely on whether the
applicants are equitably entitled to
permits and leases by virtue of pos
session and expenditures on the land
prior to February 25, 1920, when the
government assumed control. Nearly
$3,000,000 realized from production
in the disputed area since the gov
ernment took hold is being held up
pending the outcome of the case.
