summons to her and that she was
very much confused. He then went
up the road half a mile to a house
where Carpenter was superintend-

ED SOME OTHER MINOR BUsI.
NESS.

The Board of City Commissioners
met in regular session last night, but
after a brief session, adjourned to
meet with the Chamber of Commerce
in session at the court house. A res
olution was passed authorizing the
city engineer to make plans and speci.
fications for paving A stteet north.
west from Broadway to Third avenue
The question of an ordinance Gov
ering the assessment of occupation
tax was again deferred until the city
attorney has finished compiling the
laws of the city, upon which he is
at work. The question OF collecting
the automobile tax was discussed,
but no definite action was taken. It
is evident that the city is going in
with Tulsa in taking this matter to
the courts.
The property owners on B street,
northwest are beginning to agitate
paving from Broadway north. This
will probably take definite form be-
fore the next regular meeting of the
commissioners.
