IT'S UP TO THE TOWNS.
The Secretary Rules That Each Town
May do its Own Plating.


A visit to the townsite commits
sion rooms this morning by the
reporter developed the fact that
the routine work is proceeding
satisfactorily.
Col. johnson informed the re-
porter that he had just prepared
and sent out letters to all lncor-
porated towns in the Chickasaw
nation In conformity with the re-
cent ruling of the secretary of the
interior, in which he holds that
under the existing law each town
may lay out, plat and survey its
own lots under instructions from
the commission and the depart
ment.
The exterior limits of each town
are to be surveyed by the commits
sion, after which the citizens may
employ surveyors and make their
own plat, which must be submit
ted to the commission for approval
and by it to the department.
When such plats are completed
and approved the appraisement of
the property will be made by the
commission.
This is done to facilitate the
townsite work and to give the peo-
pie greater satisfaction by allow
ing them to decide among them
selves all controversies growing
out of the crooked streets and
other inaccuracies in the present
townsites.
1t remains to be seen whether
the people in the towns are willing
to hasten the work at their own
expense. The work will cost
probably from $500 to $4,000 in
each town according to size, and
under the secretary's ruling this
cost must be borne by the people
of the respective towns.
Col Johnson requests each town
to which he has sent letters to in
dicate at an early date whether it
will embrace the opportunity af
forded by the secretary's instruc-
tions. Those accepting will be
the one whose exterior limits are
first surveyed by the commission
