Oil Firm Files Injunction Suit INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—Th* Indiana Consenratlon Department was sued late "Wednesday to prevent it from cancelling a •late cAutract with an Evansville firm for drilling oil in the Wa-

bash River.

The suit filed In Marion Superior Court by the Clayton Lynch firm sought an injunction against Conservation Director Harley Hook. Lynch signed a contract with the state in January, 1935, giving the firm drilling rights for 100 miles from Terre Haute to the

Ohio River.

The suit said oil was finally struck after expend!tars of $193,000, and 100 wells were planned. But Marion Circuit Court acting on a suit filed by ths Tidewater Association Oil Co., ruled thy state contract Invalid. The Lynch firm said It was

ready to fulfill the contract but is stalemated until an appeal of .he Circuit Court ruling is taken to the Indiana Appellate Court. Hook said the contract cancellation was based on the court ruling. He said he intends to lease rights to firms that “give the state the best offer.” The suit said the under water drilling contract was held invalid because private firms were drilling on the banks. Lynch was to pay the state a share of the profits.
