Salem field now draws oil from five different paying zones
The Kingwood No. 48-A Shanafelt in the Devonian at about 3400 feet reached a discovery and nearby drilling tests are under way. Magnolia built a derrick on the W. B. Young lease to offset the Shanafelt, with Kingwood moving to offset their first producer. Ladd Oil completed a producer on the Be NOist and McClosky at the Young Church lease, while St. Louis lime tests add a second horizon. The field now has two productive horizons to test.

Where the motor tax dollar goes analysis warns roads demand funds
An Illinois Road Builders Association analysis shows motorists receive about 26 cents of every auto tax for new roads, 29 cents to cities and counties, and 12 cents to state road upkeep. It argues no increase in funds is possible without higher gas tax and urges no diversion of highway funds. State officials estimate 442 miles need modernization and 170 new bridges would cost 23,535,000, with 1,197 more miles to reconstruct in five years, but 1988 funding would cover only 70 miles.
