SOME FINE WORK.
Preparing Msp Of The CITY. showing tie
boundaries, for j. George wriehf.

iu quest or a news item the re-.
porter dropped into the Offices of
the townsite commission this morn
ing, where the office force were all
diligently at work.
Col. johnson and Captain w.
Burney were found busy entertain.
ing callers and answering all sorts
of questions which are put to them
more or less every day by property
holders.
Laboring assiduously at his desk
was the always in a good humor
stenographer of the commission
Mr.. G. P. McCoin, who seemed too
busy to be disturbed.
In the next room we found the
chief surveyor of the party, Mr.. ].
I. Thayer, busy with one of his
assistants converting his field notes
to the plat of the city.
AT work over another table was
the gentlemanly craftsman for the
commission. Mr.. W. G.. Rawles.
We found him busy drafting
map and plat of the city ON a great
ly reduced scale, for the benefit of
Indian Inspector George Wright.
who requires copy.
The extreme nicely of the work
in which Mr.. Rawles is engaged
can be Imagined when we say the
plat under construction is on
scale of 600 feet to one inch.
This map will show clearly the
original Incorporate boundary line.
1t Will also show all contemplated
changes of same; both by individ-
uals, city council. citizens COM
mlttee or tOwnsite commission.
Each line of change or proposed
change will be clearly shown.
1t will clearly show all proposed
changes in streets, in fact, at
glance it will show Ardmore as it
was, as it is, and as it is intended
to be.
just what j. George Wright
wants with such a map we are at
loss to say, but surmise, the boun-
dairy question now in dispute, is |
the object desired.
Observation was the extent of !
ou. conversation among these gen
tlemen today. They were sorry !
for the newspaper man who had to
trail through the mud, climb stair
ways. keep in touch with banks
and smallpox and not take any
thing. but they had not word to
give out for publication.
We conclude therefore that the
work of the commissioners is pro-
crossing serenely.
