At Meeting Last Night Cit
liens Prepare to Vote
Water Bonds.
LITTLE DELAY NOW
Actual Amalgamation Will
Follow Closely on Heels
Of Movement.

A SSURANCE that the community
part OF Greater Tulsa-was given at
mass meeting in Kendall college
auditorium last night.
Plans preliminary to the election
which will amalgamate Kendall and
Tulsa were formulated.
II was decided to vote bonds for a
sewer system and city water service
before coming into the city These
bonds will be assumed by the entire
city when Kendall becomes part
Of 1t.
The Kendall citizens last night
adopted resolutions asking the city
government to give them the services
OF the engineering department for the
purpose of making an estimate on the
probable cost of sewers and water.
IT has been roughly estimated that
the sewers will cost $4,000 and the
water installation $4,000.
Tulsa Is Ready.
Mayor j. II. simmons attended last
nights meeting and assured the Ken
dali residents that the city admin
istration was ready to do everything
in its power to help them belome a
part OF the city. President Evans of
Kendall college spoke Ia behalf of the
citizens and urged that all delays pos
sible be avoided in bringing about the
urion
j. Y. Sutherlin of the Sutherlin
Brokerage company of Kansas city
told he citizens that his firm stood
ready to buy the Kendall bonds pro-
TdnC they could have q voice in
awarding the sewer and water con-
tracts This proposition was reject
ed, 1t being the unanimous sentiment
that 10 strings should be attached to
the bond issue.
The length Of time until Kendall Is
a part of Tulsa depends upon the
sreed with which the bond election
can be called. After the bonds are
voted It will only be a short stop to
the complete amalgamation.

both from the attitude OF the state

Great Britain are in possession Of the
