Thats about 60 more than it uses today by 1971. Where will it all come from? From hundreds of places on earth you might never expect oil to exist. Right now, for example. Standards exploration teams are probing the ocean floor many miles out to sea . . . trekking across Arabian deserts, marked inaccessible on maps. Others are climbing over glaciers in Alaska, pushing through the snow into the frozen interior of Canada, slogging through the jungles of Latin America. In the last ten years, geologists from Standard and its affiliates explored in 47 countries on six continents. Is the search paying off? Yes. In the United States alone, we found two new barrels of oil for every barrel we took out of the ground. The search will continue to help make certain that Jimmy and his generation will have the oil they need for an number of homes, cars, mechanized farms and industries . . . and provide chemicals from petroleum that will help make possible more exciting new products. planning ahead to serve you better STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA Notice is hereby given in pursuance of a proper Request for Publication heretofore filNotice Legal ed in accordance with Section 1 ORDINANCE 19G2 AN ORDINANCE ANNEX- 5 of the Act of July 23, 1955 ING CONTINGUOUS TERR- (69 Stat. 3G7), and the regulaITORY TO THE CITY OF tions thereunder (43 CFR MONTICELLO: Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Monticello as follows: WHEREAS, a majority of the owners of the hereinafter described real property ownd in ing not less than value of said real property as shown by the last assessment rolls, having petitioned the City Council to annex said territory to the City of Monticello, and WHEREAS, said real property lies continguous to the corporate limits of the City of Monticello, and WHEREAS, said petitioners have caused to be filed In the Office of the Recorder of the City of Monticello an accurate plat of said real property prepared and certified by a competent surveyor; 1.
