Report on Red River claims recommends $1.78 million awards
Washington A special committee on Red River oil field claims said eighteen of sixty four claims are equitable and urged $1 780 000 be paid. They found no equitable claim on 620 of the 1 280 acres and said $320 000 from oil produced should revert to the federal treasury. The largest award proposed was $693 502 to Burke Divide Oil Co of Terre Haute Ind. Others include $318 542 to General Oil Co Houston and $228 624 to Lone Star Refining Co Kansas City Kan. Secretary Work will study the recommendations prior to ruling. The case stems from wells in the Red River bed disputed by Oklahoma and Texas. the land was deemed federal, with profits impounded and later governed by a 1923 act authorizing interior department adjustments for pre court expenditures. The hearings spanned two months with the attorney general arguing against any award.
