CITY RAILWAY FRANCHISE
VIII Come up for Amendment Presi-
dent Jones Explains This
Proposition

A meeting of the Commercial
Club was held yesterday afternoon
10 consider the proposition of an
electric interurban railway from
Chickasha to Anadarko. The
proposition was presented by Scott
Jonesin behalf OF the City Railway
Company of which he Is president.
Briefly stated the proposition is
that for a bonus of $4,000, the
company will build and operate an
electric railway from Chickasha to
Anadarko within twelve months,
barring unknown hindrances, the
bonus to be payable when the first
car has been run over the line.
The proposition is contingent, of
course, upon the acceptance of 9
similar proposition by Anadarko,
and also by Verden. if latter place
desires the line
The attendance at the meeting
was small and il was thought best
to postpone final action on the
matter till larger meeting could
be held. Several present spoke
enthusiastically in favor of the
proposition. Lawrence Martin
thought it was an opportunity that
should not be overlooked. d. d.
Sayer thought the building Of this
line would mark turning point in
the history of the city, being the

credit for what has been done.
For your information, will state
that since that time we have pnt
on two complete copper circuits
from Oklahoma city to chickasha.
These are through circuits ard
give'quadruple the facilities had be-
fore. Had 1t not'bsen that we had
this material on hand that had been
ordered for other places, 1t would
have been impossible for as to have
even given you this refief within
the time that we have. / will state
further, that we have material or
dered and a quantity on the ground
to give all the telephone facilities
Chickasha will require, except that
there Is part of the material we
will require, before the work can
be done that is impossible for us to
get delivered. For instance, we
have had cross arms ordered for
over six mouths, and if the cotton
buyers and business men Of Chick
asha can bring any pressure to bear
whereby they can induce the rail-
roads to deliver this material to us,
assure you that the nessary long
distance circuits will be added as
fast as it is possible to string the
wire.
/ will further state that, in order
to help the situation at your point,
we have been securing the entire
country for cross arms and finally
located few at Omaha, Nebraska,
that we purchased at very high
price and are having shipped at
almost donble freight rate be-
cause the railroad advises us that
il will be impossible for them to
move any cars from the lumber
mills for some time. No doubt, your
local lumbermen and other people
who have occasion to do much ship
ping can give you some informa-
ltion as to the national car shor age
prevailing at the present time.
l will say further, that we are
having almost as much trouble to
procure labor. However, we have
not delayed any work in your vici-
nifty on that account, as we have
abandoned a number of our other
extensions in order to help out
down there.
So far as the local exchange is
concerned, will say that we have

OF THE COMPANY IN LETTER
TO THE MAYOR
SYSTEM IS BEING IMPROVED
Just as Fast as Possible Great Diff

The following letter to Mayor
Venable will be of interest to the
people of Chidkasha especially pa
irons of the telephone system.
Oklahoma City, o T., Oct IS 1906
Hon. John H. Venable. Mryor,
Chickasha, Indian Territory.
Dear Sir:
On my return, / find your letter
of October 10th, in which you ad-
wise ME of the city council having
been presented a petition signed
by the cotton buyers and other
business men of Chickosha, asking
for better telephone service, other
wise that the franchise be forfeited.
In reply, I first wish to state that
it is the desire of this company to
furnish the citizens Of Chickasha
first class telephone service, both
loci and long distance We connot,
however, be expected to acconip-
lish miracles. You are aware of the
fact that we did not own this pro-
perty, and had no way of planning
to improve 1t whichever until a very
short time ago. We cannot be
blamed for the conditions or SER
vice before we took over the pro-
perty. The only question is whether
we have lived up to OR promise
that I made you and the city coun-
Gil short time ago after we took
over the property, and that was,
we would do everything in our
power to improve and enlarge the
system As fast as possible. 1t does
not seem that we have been given

said that Inspector Wright was
ordered to inspect the great game
preserve which a party of Texans
have been trying tn secure in the
mountains of the Choctaw nation

Jack Gordon wants a section of
the country twelve miles square re-
served from allotment, the Indian
tribs being paid the government

But we are passing through a
critical stage at the present time.

the same lines as Mr.. Sayer.
A general meeting will likely be
held in few days to more con-
slider the interurhan matter.
CITY RAILWAY AFFAIRS
After the discussion of the in
turban proposition had been finish
ed, Mr.. Jones stated that he desir-
ed to present to the club the status
of city railway matters. Every
thing was in satisfactory shape for
the early beginning of operations,
except few legal technicalities
and some defects in the franchise
which the fnanciers wanted re-
medied. II am going to ask the
council for thosc amendments, {"
said Mr.. Jones. "and if you think
it is right that should have them,
l want your support" He then
went over the amendments desired.
The first of these as an extension
of the life of the franchise. The
original franchise was granted
nearly year ago to run for thirty
years and 4 vas arranged to issue
thirty year bonds for the construc-
tion of the system, but as nearly a
year of the life of the franchise
has passed an extension is necess-
airy.
Section S of the franchise re-
quires that upon petition of citizens
along any streets not occupied by
tracks, the company shall build
and operate lines on such streets,
or forfeit all rights to their use.
1t is desired that this be amended
to specify that there must be a
ce tain number of people living on
a street before they can make de-
mands of the company.
Section 6 provides that the CON-
pany must give transfers over the
lines Of any other company which
may later enter the city, and this
IS objected to.
Our rmendment to the COM
pany's electric light franchise is
also asked, whereby all consumers
will pay on a meter basis.
