REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

By its Order No. 3-5 (Emergency), heretofore and on October 10, 1952 entered in the above entitled matter, the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission of the State of Colorado found that in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 (c) of the Oil and Gas Conservation Act of 1951, as Amended, an emergency exists requiring immediate action, and that its Order No. 3-3 heretofore entered on July 7, 1952 in the above entitled matter should be suspended pending final determination by the Commission of the application of the Southwestern Colorado Oil and Gas Committee, and the Individual Landowners represented by said Committee, for rehearing, and the Commission therefore ordered that said Order No. 3-3 should be further suspended, said suspension to remain in full force and effect until October 26, 1952.

 

Rehearing in the above entitled matter on the said application for rehearing of the Southwestern Colorado Oil and Gas Committee, and the Individual Landowners represented by said Committee, was originally set before the Commission on Wednesday, October 29, 1952, at Denver, Colorado, but has now been reset on November 18, 1952, (Tuesday), at the District Court Room, County Court House, Durango, Colorado, to facilitate the participation in the rehearing by interested parties in the Durango area. The Commission is of the opinion that it is in the best interest of all concerned if the Commission further suspend its said Order No. 3-3 in the above entitled matter, pending a final determination by the Commission of the said application for rehearing.
