Proposed Bill in Coming Legislature
Would Give Commission Form Of
Government to Counties

Oklahoma City, Dec. 2S-Commission
form OF government for counties in the
state Of Oklahoma may result from the
proposed bill now being prepared for
presentation during the coming ses.
sion by Representative Bert Hodges,
Okmulgee. Should the bill become a
law it will be optional with the citizens
of each county whether they win adopt
the commission form. In order to di-
vorce absolutely the county board from
the county, and to place the business
of this unit of government into the
hands of competent commissioners is
one Of the aims of the bill. Should an
election result in the adoption of the
commission form, the county would be
divided into three or more districts,
according to size and population, each
to have its representative. The dis
trict commissioners would draw up
charter which would state the number
and power of offices to be created.
Another election would adopt or reject
the charter, AMI elect the necessary Of
ficers.

that great mobs will literally fight to

Billy and Broadway have been sparring
for position for several years; and now
at last the Evangelist is coming to

remarkable trail hitters from every
city he has invaded, will march on the
metropolis and take it by storm. This
is one of many of the preliminaries
calculated to create atmosphere for
Billy's coming.
