MUCH INTEREST SHORN IN
RRC HEARING IN ALBANY
Great interest was shown in
the "show cause" hearing or-
dered by the Railroad Commis-
sion in Albany Tuesday. A to-
tal of 256 people registered for
the hearing, which was con-
ducted by Ray D. Payee, ex-
aminer of the commission, who
was assisted by Fred Young
and James Smith.
Mr. Payne, in his opening re-
marks Tuesday morning, stat-
ed this was a formal hearing,
called by the commission when
50 oil operators were asked to
"show cause" why their wa-
terflood operations west of Al-
bany should not be shut down
because of contamination of
Hubbard Creek.
J. D. Tomkins, president of
the West Central Texas Oil &
Gas Association was called on
for a statement. He said the
1,000-member association "is
violently opposed to a blanket
shutdown order, because the
good operators are penalized
along with those who break the
RR commission orders."
Mayor Herb Sievers of Al-
bany welcomed the oil men.
Railroad Commission examin-
ers, and others to Albany for
the hearing, stated he was sure
"the problems will be worked
England, out to the satisfaction of all."

of the district and Railroad
Commission in "cleaning up
salt water pollution caused by
old wells which had been im-
properly plugged."
Ralph Hooks, mayor of Abi-
lene, stated that Abilene was
concerned about Lake Hub-
bard's water, since "this lake Is
Abllene's future water supply."
He stated tkat Abilene paid 92
percent of the cost of the lake.
Leon C. Hughes, chief of the
U. S. Geological Survey, testi-
fied concerning the work of
his department in checking for
salt water in Hubbard Creek.
Wednesday morning the local
operators presented their testi-
mony, with their attorney, Tom
Gordon, in charge. Statements
were read by various people,
including operators, showing
willingness to cooperate with
the water district and Railroad
Commission in "cleaning up"
the area.
All testimony will be studied
by commission people in Austin
and reports will be made at a
later date.
The hearing of testimony was
completed Wednesday morn
ing.
This hearing was of great in-
terest to oil people throughout
the state, as a ruling to shut
down oil operations in an area
could set a precedent that even
tually could affect every oil
producing area.
