STATES FORMULATE OIL QUTPUT PLAN Co-operation of Lamont by Limiting Imports Sharp- ly Is Sought. i By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, September 12.— | Possessed of a definite plan designed to 8ld the ofl industry, representatives of | Western oil States set forth hopefully today seeking concurrences of Secretary of Commerce Lamont and of Texas offi- clals. One committee was appointed at a conference here yesterday to carry word of conclusions reached to Secretary La- | mont and ask his co-operation in lim- iting imports of crude petroleum. Another is to solicit aid of Texas au- thorities in curtailing to less than 1,000,000 barrels daily the flow of oil from that State's gigantic subterranean Teservoirs. | Plaa Specifies Output. | The plan, evolved after an all-day | session at the Oklahoma Capitol, speci- fics that total daily production from United States pools be curtailed through the remdinder of 1931 and 1932 to ap- proximately 2,381,000 barrels, or about 200.000 barrels under daily market de- mand. Minor changes would be made in 1933 and 1934 to allow for changing conditions. Import would be cut sharply to force withdrawal of about 200,000 barrels daily from present storage in the United States in hopes the balancing of supply | and demand would stabilize the market. | " Dally production by barrels in the | United States would be distributed for the remainder of 1931 as follows: Texas, 900.000; Oklahoma, 548,001 | california, 500,000; Kansas, | Arkansas and Louisiana, 110,000 East | ern pools, 108,000; Rocky Mountain r glon, 55,000, and New Mexico, 50,000.

Work was started yesteday by the Mount Vernon, Alexandria & Washing- ton Rallway on relocation and rebuild- ing of its trackage in District property south of the Highway Bridge. The work was ordered by the Public Utilities Commission recently, as the Highwey Department is widening and repaving the roadway from the end of the bridge to a point adjacent to a spur track of the Richmond, Fred- ericksburg & Potomac Railroad. This territory, although south of the Poto- mac, is part of the District, which extends to the high water mark on the Virginia shore. Some surprise was expressed by Dis. trict Building officials at the fact that the railroad would spend its money in relaying the trackage, since its con- tinued existence is made doubtful by litigation now in progress which may result in the removal of the line's ter- minal at Twelfth and D streets. The District is widening the roadway mentioned from 20 to 40 feet and mak- ing seversl changes in grade in con- nection with the work that the Bureau of Public Roads is doing in developing an entrance to the new George Wash- ington Boulevard at that point. The District'’s work will start Sep- tember 21. There is an appropriation of $40,000 for the widening and re- aving. No estimate was available at the District Building of the probable cost to the railroad of relocating and relaying its tracks FOREST FIRE RAGES South Dakota Blaze Sweeps Over Wide Area. DEADWOOD, §.
