While the need for a new permanent

Finance Committee decided that this
would be an inopportune time to frame
a loan that would necessarily include
provision for the continuance Of the many
permanent municipal improvements
planned by the Blankenburg administra-

that the size of the loan may be gov

Of the coming municipal election.

cilmanic financiers say that the money

Immediate necessity and that funds pro-
vided in the past will carry on improve
ment work for months to come.

(From the Oklahoman)

No indication of what action he will
take on the oil conservation bill was
given by Gov. X. Williams Wednesday
after sensational attacks on the meas
ure had developed at a special hearing
called for the purpose of allowing in
terests opposing the act to urge their
claim that the chief executive should
veto it.
Although Governor Williams de
clared flatly at the opening of the
meeting that he would take into CON
sideration nothing save the charge
that important sections of the bill were
unconstitutional, redhot discussion
of the predicted consequences should
it become a law, followed arguments
on the legal phases. Producers, at
torneys and workmen took part.
Attorneys w. A. Ledbetter and Geo.
A. Ramsey assailed the consttutionali-
ty of sections and of the meas
ure, declaring that the validity of
thousands of contracts was involved
and asserting further that the bill
would be imperative and meaningless,

Jail, where he was arraigned yester-
day morning and fined fifty dollars
for his part in the affair while Palmer

gun and another for beating Palmer
with it, and regretted that the fine
could not have been heavier The
mayor says that there is altogether
too much pistol toting, and every one
brought before him is going to be made
to pay heavily in the future. 1t was
reported that when Holt is through
with the city, that the county will
