Oil production quotas set for December and January
Secretary Ickes announced a daily crude oil production target of 2,130,000 barrels for December and January. State allocations will be certified November 20, and an interim period will allow the petroleum board to gather statistics on trade changes. The order eases hardship for small independents by permitting storage holders to sell to buyers who will treat it as stored oil with regional committee consent. It also allows such oil to be withdrawn first when seasonal demand requires increases.

Court Clarifies State Tax Laws In Oklahoma
Oklahoma City October 24, state supreme court clarified tax law issues in the Choctaw county levies. It affirmed in part and reversed in part decisions of the court of tax reviews, ruling a subdivision need not estimate future non ad valorem income. It held sinking fund levies including tax refunds unauthorized and that funds on hand not yet paid to a district cannot be counted in needs estimates. The excise board cannot deduct un obligated end of year funds to insure. Transfers of sinking fund balances to general funds require an actual transfer. The court suspended Ewell Short for one year for failing to inform a judge and mis handling divorce case funds. A tax deed after oil discovery does not convey mineral rights in Merriweather v Lovett.
