SANTA FE OUTPUT TAKES BIG DROP Santa Fe Springs took another spectacular production drop this last week, declining being $900 barrels, the heaviest the field has suffered in some time. The daily output of the once wonder high-gravity oil field of the west is now just a little better than 100,000. The largest addition to new production for the week was made by the Standard Oil Co. on the Orr property with a 600-barrel well. Machris Brothers, on the Frazer lease, completed No. 6 at 4535 and got a 600-barrel well. The Elliott Consolidated Oil Co. completed a well of like capacity on the Clark property. The hope of a Springs Western Extension now rests with the Burbank Oil Co., whose No. 1 has passed the 4500-foot mark. On account of the good showing made by the Oakridge Oil Co.'s Rosal well the Burbank Oil Co. is conceded a chance. The Associated Oil Co. has abandoned its efforts of a production test of the M. & H. Off Co.'s well and will cease to pay rentals on properties it has been holding in this section of the field for some time. It is understood that the M. & H.

Building Fails to Meet Demand Building costs in California have slightly and gradually increased since January of 1920, so that today's rental schedules cannot accurately reflect a true ratio of housing shortage, says S. W. Straus & Co., Rentals, however, always indicate more truly the relationship between supply and demand in housing than it does Increased cost of construction. The housing status of January, 1920, was based on conditions resulting from the war and it was estimated then that five years of intensive building would be required to restore housing and rentals to pre-war normal. Four years of building activity since then has not only failed to reduce that housing shortage but has in most places, failed to keep pace with increases in population. TORRANCE GETS 1150-BBL.
