| Inc lulsd commercial club last
night received propositions from fac.
tories whose combined pay rolls would
number nearly 1000 men, whose com.
Dined investments would be more than
sl,5OO,OOO and whose daily operating
expenses would be more than $l5,-
600.
All of them can be had for con-
'ideration Of $4,000, and Tu sa has
lcr rustIing clothes ON aud j, gong
to get them.
The bu,ines, Of the evening in
bri-f was as follows:
The committee on the Santa Re
notes reported the matter in good
shape, the roads committee was m--
strurtcd to inaugurate monthly
"good roads day" and evolve plan
for making it a day on which toe
merchants and boosters generally,
should make a special effort to rai,,
funds and pledge work for the roads
leading into Tulsa.
Then Secretary Tucker opened up
on the propositions. There is a most
Noticeable difference between the
way these matters are viewed by
prospective manufacturers now and a
year ago. The first offer read lasl
night, for instance, was from palties
who will build a $4,000 creamery
here, operate il at an expense of
about thousand dollars day. for a
bonus of S5,OOOy payable when the
factory is ready to operate. This was
referred to the manufacturers com.
mittee.
Pittsburg, Pa, parties wish to in
terest some local capital to locate a
factory here for making bar iron
from scrap. This is to be a $4,000
plant. Letters from the industrial
commissioners of the Katy, the Santa
Fe. the Midland Valley and the Frisco
railroads heartily endorse the project,
declare that the necessary scrap iron
can be had within easy distance of
Tulsa, and pledge their help in everyI
way.
Three smelter propositions were
submitted, Two of these are subst I-
TALLY that the people of Tulsa shall
secure gas territory sufficient to sup.
ply needed fuel, develop same, and |
sell the wells and leases to the com.
panies at an agreed price.
Three glass factory propositions |
were submitted, each On about the
same basis-2) per cent Of the first
years pay roll, to he pail in cash
rs the building of the plant progress.
