County Negotiates Oil
Leases With Three Firms
(Continued from Page One)
vclopment must begin within two
years. Each of the companies must
post a surety bond equal to the
amount It will pay in annual rental.
The annual rental for Oil Devel
opers and Coos Bay Oil & Gas will
be 10 cents an acre and will raise
to 25 cents a year for the four
succeeding years. Sinclair will pay
25 cents an acre all five years.
Reason for the lower rates the first
year for Oil Developers and Coos
Bay Oil & Gas is because each is
owned primarily by local people.-
Should oil or gas be struck, the
county will receive one-eighth ol
all commercial material taken
from the ground. In addition, the
annual rental will be jacked uo to
an cents an acre for the lucky firm.
The terms aro similar to those re
served by the federal government
and many states.
When, Inside the two years, a
well is started by. a company, the
firm must post a $50,000 surety
bond with the county within six
months. If natural gas is struck
and tho well capped, an annual
the county.
In tho first year, the county will
receive about $6,600 in land rentals,

but the flames were extinguished.

For Representative
In Washington
The Assn. of O i C Counties has
ecided to employ a fill-time legal
representative ia Washington, D. C.
according to Judge Can C Hill(
executive committee chairman.
Hill, who attended a Meeting of
the association in Portland last
week, said the representative yet
unnamed will work on a retainer
basis, with the primary purpose in
mind of representing the 18 western
Oregon counties comprising the as
sociation before the legislative and
executive departments of the feder
al government.
Hill said the association feels a
full-time man Is needed to "watch
the course of events" and take nec
essary action in matters affecting
the O & C land grant formula.
At present, ' the counties of the
association receive 75 per cent of
the revenue from timber from O &
C lands and 25 per cent of the rev
enue from federal forest timber,
but there are and have. been pres
sures to reduce this county income.
The association now has no Wash
ington resident who is hired to rep
resent it. In the past, Attorney
Frank Sever, Portland, was flown
to Washington whenever his serv
ices were needed there by the as
sociation. -
