Since most of the land on the various geologic structures is government owned property, they are part owners in the production of oil or gaa and they will insist upon the development of each individual claim or permit. This regulation calls for a well to be started within six months after the permit is granted and the bore must be down five hundred feet in one year and two thousand within two years or production. In a field proven owners of patented land and leased for oil will insist that the lessors carry out their contract. With this development program in view it is estimated that about a hundred and fifty carloads of equipment will be shipped into the Moab district in the near future, about fifty wells will be started and each one will have an average crew of ten men, not counting geologists, engineers, pipeline workers, leasemen, speculators, promoters, boom town followers and its share of idle job seekers and rough element. It is estimated that nearly a hundred prospecting permits are located favorably on geologic structures which must be developed as well as thousands of acres of patented land. If this program of development work is carried out for this year Moab will be the center of activities, which will mean that its water system will be enlarged, a sewer system installed, sanitary conditions improved and hotel and other projects carried out. If production warrants a branch from the main line of the Denver and Rio Grande Western will be built into the town. The future of Moab will depend largely on the flow and life of production. This can' only be estimated after a few wells come in. If the life of the production is short the depression and after effects that befall a town whose life was short leaves a condition that can only be made by a disaster unless during its life other resources are developed.
