Jenkins Bill Aims Synthetic Petroleum Station In Hocking Valley

The center would aid national defense resource conservation, production, processing, and utilization of coal oil shale outputs. The measure invites cooperation with federal and state entities, accepts gifts, and sets a $1 million construction fund with $100000 annual maintenance.
