There are some critics who maintain that a more aggressive Policy should have been followed, so as to secure a more profitable price level, Such criticism, however, takes no account of two important Search For Oil in Great*Britain Over Twelve Miles of Oil Drilling; First Survey The first complete survey of the search for oil in Britsin in the past two years—ineluding the extensive ials in the South of England, the improved results in the Midlands, and the new discoveries in Scotland—is made-in the quarterly bulletin of the Imperial Institute, South Kensington, which appeared on April 1.
To date, the total depth drilled in the United Kingdom is in excess of 12 miles, and represents 12 major tests completed, four in progress, and more than 30 geological bores. Of these trials, two have provided positive supplies of oil.
