MAKE A CASH OFFER.
Metropolitan Street Railway Declines
Bid of $4,000

Oklahoma City, o. T, June 20.-Cusacks
and company. the railroad contractors of
New ORLEANS, have made an offer to pur-
chase the Metropolitan Street railway for
S150,000 cash. and the offer has been de-
clined by Anton H. CIassen, representing
the street railway company
There have been many rumors of the
purchase. or intended purchase of the
property of the street railway company.
but it is safe TO say that Mr.. Classen
does not intend to lose control of the
valuable franchise he now holds. AS the
property is estimated to have cost sos
90 or $1,000. it will be seen that Cusacks
and company, as well as Mr.. Classen him
self. consider the franchise to be worth
all of $4,000
The offer of purchase was made on
Wednesday TO Mr.. CIassen by c. T. Col
cord, who stated that Cusacks and com
pany would pay $4,000 cash for the
property as it now stands. and would i'm
mediately deposit 5000 as an earnest Of
good faith durin gthe process Of negotia-
tions The offer was promptly declined
by Mr.. CIassen, who stated that he con-
sidered the property worth considerably
more than the price offered. As Mr.. Col
cord was not authorized to offer higher
price negotiations ended
1t is stated b. well informed parties
that Cusacks and company is one OF the
firms interested in the proposed new in
terurban road to Norman. which seeks 20
secure a franchise through the streets Of
the city and which is being fought by
the Metropolitan company.
