B. Applicability Of Permit: Each such permit shall cover and provide for the drilling, maintaining and operating of one oil or gas well only, and not more than one oil or gas well shall be drilled in any one block; provided, however, that, at the discretion of the mayor and city of Eufaula council, a permit as herein provided for may be issued for the drilling of a second well in any one or more blocks, if the first well is producing in substantially paying quantities.
