OKLAHOMA CITY STILL
FAILS TO MAKE 5000
lsfisl From Gov, CIues Raps
Building Company for Dn-
fulfilled Pledges

Confessed failure OF the capital 10
cation proposition in Oklahoma City
presents 20 the people of the state
in unavoidable light several pointed
contrasts between promise and per
foFmance. The city has failed to pay
the first $4,000 Of the $1,000, 900
promised. and the governor has turn
ed down an offer Of 500 acres of land
and capitol and executive mansion
SITES put up to him instead of the
money.
Promised q million dollars, the REQ
pie of the state find that the govern
or cannot collect even $4,000 This
situation is in marked contrast with
the treatment Of the state govern
ment at Guthrie. where there was
never an unfultilled pledge III cap
ital matters
Meanwhile the state is paying out
800 200 or more rent a year for Of.
fices, for which it paid about $4,000
in Guthrie This staggering rent a'Ull
has been going on upwards of a year
and there Is no free capitol in sight
mot building under way nor syen
a site marked out. Only ten years
OF such delay will be required to
cost the state ovSz million dollars
for the little jamboree pulled off in
June OF last year.
Removal Expenses Not Paid.
There is also an unpaid claim of
$4,000 for removal expenses. The
difference in expense to the state Is
at least $4,000 In direct rentals
each year.
Inss.e letter from the Capitol Build
ing company to the governor, it was
stated that the company is unable to
carry out its part of the contrac.
with the state, for the following rea-
sons; That because citizens of
Guthrie had filed a motion for re-
hearing Of the capital case before the
United States supreme court, the
company has been unable to secure
donations and secure titles to all the
property that the companyagreed to
secure. also that 1t has been impos-
sible to survey, plat, etc, the lanus
because OF the litigation pending;
that the drought that has existed in
the state since the execution Of the
contract has made the sale Of lots
an absolute physical impossibility
IN reply TO the proposition, Gov
ernOr CFuce says:
i submitted to your company
while the last legislature was in ses-
sion, wherein i proposed that If you
would turn over to the state the
