TO CALL
SPECIAL
ELECTION
Since Recent Fires the Towns
Are in Earnest
WOULD HAVEWATERWOKkS
If Government Won't Act'l hen
the Cities May.
WOULD HAVEWATtRW0RkS

Guthrie, o. T. Aug. 7-Since the recent
fires in Anadarko and Hobart there has
been considerable agitation for the erec-
ton of water works systems in the two
cities. the funds to be raised by means
of municipal bond issues, regardless OF
what might be the contemplated acton
of Secretary Hitchcock of the interior
department.
1t has been two years since the new
country was opened to settlement and
a fund for the construction Of water
works systems has been available, but
no definite action has been taken. 50
serious have heen the recent confiagra-
tions. the residents of the two cities feel
that it is a necessity for them TO have
wat works and that at no distant time.
While Lawton has not suffered from fire
as have the other cities, yet the same
feeling prevails there as does in Anadarko
and Hobart.
Petitions are being circulated in Ana
darko for the purpose of presenting the
same to the members of the city council
requesting that board to call a special
election upon the proposition of construct
ing water works. and issue of bones being
the next step should the council deter
mine to accede to the demands of the
residents of the city Bonds could be
voted for almost any amount as there is
no law restricting the same. Prior to
1898 there was law which stated that
no bond issue could be for over four per-
cent of the assessed valuation of the
city This law was repealed and another
law states that the bonds must be paid
for par and hear not more than six Per
cent interest the same TO be paid semi
annually Thirty days notice Of an cleo
tion on a bond proposition is TO be given
to the residents of a city for which the
election is to be held
During the two years just passed, resi-
dents of the three cities in the new coun-
try have become very discouraged over
the water works situation and are of
the opinion that for the sake of ample
fire protection it is necessary for them
TO secure water works without spending
upon the movements of the secretary of
the interior.
