Only One Well Inside

The field force under City Engineer Olmsted yesterday finished surveying the line of the oil limit around Sunset park, with the result that only one pumping well is found to be within the line, that of Poliee Commissioner Parker. Another derrick belonging to the same person is on the ground and preparations have been made to bore, but will probably now be discontinued, awaiting the result of the test of the ordinance, which must come if the city attorney makes good his threat to swear to warrants against all persons found to be boring within the line, and prosecute them for violation of the law.
