To the Honorables Marcus A. Smith and Henry F. Ashurst, United States Your memorialist, the Senate of the third Legislature of the State of Arizona, in special session convened, respectfully represents: That one of the most essential sources of economic development and its re- sultant communal prosperity is the production of a fuel supply; That indications point to the location of vast oil fields in the State of Arizona; That the development of these Arizona oil fields will be facilitated, if not dependent, on the successful adoption of the provision in Senate bill Number 2812, providing for the issuance of letters patent on six hundred and forty acres to the permittee who discovers oil; That the adoption of the House bill provision allowing only a lease of such lands would tend to discourage the investment of the necessary capital; Therefore, your memorialist earnestly urges upon you the necessity of sup- porting the Senate bill now before the Senate of the United States, in order to further the development and prosperity of the people of the State of Arizona. Resolved, That a copy of this memorial be forwarded to the United States (Chapter 27, Laws 1913-3d special session.) EMINENT DOMAIN. 3071.
