Smith pushes to keep oil lease probe open
Princeton businessman Joe W. Smith demands continued U S Justice Department scrutiny of the sale of Painter Oil Co leases in Franklin County. He alleges the trustee favored Colt Energy by allowing a final bid on all leases and permitting higher Colt bids while others faced $10,000 increments. Smith says several lienholders and potential bidders were not interviewed and questions the bidding notice and disclosure procedures.
