Show Land Owners Vote To Delay Signing New Lease Land owners in the Leeton-Bennett Leeton-Bennett area last Thursday voted vot-ed unanimously to delay the signing of new oil leases with companies, who at the present have seven-year leases on most of the land in that area. Acccording to Lyle Reynolds, one of about 50 property owners, own-ers, who attended the meeting held Nov. 30 at the Bennett LDS ward hall, most of the leases leas-es existing at this time have about two more years to run before they expire, and rather than accept the 'Unit Agreement' Agree-ment' offered by the Carter, Phillips and Standard Oil companies! com-panies! they decided to wait for further developments. Lester Taylor was selected by the group to serve as their committee com-mittee chairman until the next organization meeting is called, perhaps in about two years. |
