ADDISON-OAKS - SEISMOGRAPH OPERATION:
Mr. Gout and Mr. Devine briefed the Commission on the progress of the
Lakeville Gas Company seismograph operation in the Addison area.
They reported that due to tests which have been concluded on their prop-
erties to the north of Addison -Oaks, they feel certain we would have oil
and/or gas under our land.
Permission was requested to conduct seismic tests on park property,
which should last no more than two days, would cause no damage to the
park, and no expense to the Commission.
The Commission requested staff to obtain an opinion from legal council
regarding a hold harmless clause should seismic tests be conducted on
park property. This will be discussed at next meeting.
