The cartoon references “Gen. Pete” and “Coal Oil Pete”– both are shorthand for General Petroleum Corporation. In 1954, a contractual agreement was made between General Petroleum and the Santa Monica City Council in which the oil concern was granted a 10-year lease on Santa Monica tidelands. General Petroleum offered the city $500,000 and 35% royalties from recovered oil. The contract was dependent on a voter referendum that would change pre-existing city ordinances, thus allowing for oil drilling in city-owned tidelands. The amendment proposal lost by a 3:1 margin.
Oil wells listed on the plan are: 1) Superior-Huffman, 2) Felix, 3) Milham, 4) C. C. friend, 5) "Veco," 6) Shell Williams, 7) J. J. Richie, 8) S. O. Co. Alferitz, 9) Lincoln Betty, 10) Scott Bros. Dr. Co., 11) Belridge, 12) So Co Mascol, 13) Temblor O. & D. Co., 14) Universal #49, 15) Shell-Porter Day, 16) Wilshire O. Co., 17) Mohawk-Weed Patch, 18) Shell-Semitropic, 19) Roy White
