EXPECT TO SETTLE
CONTROVERSY
Abandonment Of Contracts for Ex-
elusive Rights In River Beds
Under sidcration.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. l0.-The
sand and gravel controversy arising
ever the attempt OF the State School
Land Board TO establish the title OF
the state to the beds Of the Arkansas
end other rivers, will undoubtedly be
settled In the near future by the
abandonment Of the exclusive con.
and Gravel Company OF Muskogee
and Oklahoma City. Attorneys rep
rtsentins the numerous individuals
and firms taking sand and gravel
from the river beds Informed the
School Land Board that their clients
would agree, should the contracts be
abandoned, to recognize the title OF
the state and pay a reasonable roy
atty TO the state In return for the
lease. The School Land Board agreed
that a royalty collected by the com
rnission direct. OF 2tac per yard for
sand and 3hc for gravel, would be
exacted. were the plants carried out
and leases given for the period up TO
the next Legislative sessions.
The whole question OF title TO the
river beds will he put to the Legis-
lature In connection with an attempt
ed amendment OF the present statute
ir the code, giving abutting landown-
ers title down to the low water mark.
The Builders Sand and Gravel com
pany. which is composed OF oklahoma
City lawyers, has contract for the
exclusive righ, to the sand and gravel
for five years and In addition a sup
elemental agreement by which 1t is to
receive 25 per cent Of all back roy
alties collected for the sand and
gravel taken out since Statehood.
Both contracts were offered to be
abandoned by the builders and It IL
likely that the offer will he accepted.
A conference OF state officials and
sand men will be held In Oklahoma
City in few weeks TO work out fur
ther details Of the plan.
