TO COMPARE
EXPENSESOF
OKLA. CITES
Mayor COfman Believes Chickasha is Run
on Half the Money Which is Required
10 Keep Similar Towns GOing

When Mayor Coffman, accompanied
by Mrs. Coffman, attends the annual
convention of the Municipal League
which will be held in Oklahoma City
next Monday and Tuesday at which
mayors and officials from many cities
fthe state will be present, he will
pay particular attention to the cost
Of maintaining other cities in Oklaho-
ma the size of Chickasha, especially
those which have a commission form
Of government. Mayor Coffman wants
to draw a comparison between the ex-
penses of running Chickasha and the
cost Of keeping similar towns going
He believes that the cost of governing
the average city Of this size in the
states is practically double that re-
quired here. Bartlesville is an exam
pie. The cost is double. One factor
contributing to the high cost Of main
tenance in that city is the cost of the
city commission itself, which is com
posed Of three men, each Of whom
draws $4,000 year.
Mayor Coffman attended the first
mayors convention at Muskogee some
years ago and at that time came to
the conclusion that commission form
Of government was not beneficial to
a small or medium sized town or city

COUNCIL IN
SPECIAL
MEETING
VIII Consider Building and Other Ordi
naaces, But Sixteen Year Old limit
Will Not Be Changed

Owing to the inability Of any of the
officials of the rating and inspection
bureau Of the Oklahoma Fire Under
writer's association to attend the fire
test today it is likely that the city
council will meet at 1880 this evening
and take definite action with refer
ence to the draft of new building or
dinance without outside advice. 1t is
believed that though this is a model
law drafted for the benefit of towns
seeking a lower key rate that some
parts Of it can be modified so as not
to work hardship on property own
ers and still be acceptable to the in
surance people.
ut the same time it is believed that,
in the event of the presence of six of
the councilmen, parts of the traffic or
dinance will be repealed with refer
ence to the dollar license fee, and al
so the question of an examination fee
will be definitely settled.
1t was stated today, however, that
the indications are good that the law
placing the age limit at sixteen at
which children may drive cars will
not be altered or amended.
The concensus of opinion among
members of the council is that this
limit should not be reduced as such
course enlarges the risks attached to
automobile traffic Notwithstanding
this there are a few people in Chick
asha, officials aver, who insist that
children under that age should be per-
mitted to drive cars but these people
are car owners with boys or girls who
have been doing much of the driving.

for United States troops to follow
bandits into Mexico.
The protocol provides for the with

forty days, if conditions do not pre-
vent it. 1t also provides for separate
control of the border with co-opera-
tion if possible.
The discussion of Mexican internal
