This company has been preparing
to supply its pipe lines for sometime
with gas from Clemville wells, but
the efforts have been poorly rewarded
up until this well was successfully

to be great The pleasing thing about

the danger line and successfully

The Houston Gulf Gas Co., through
one of its subsidiary organizations,
