NEW ADDITIONS MUST
WAIT ON BOND ISSUE
Mayor and Commissioners Will
Not Obligate City to Make
Improvements Now.

No new additions will he admitted
to the city of Tulsa until the result Of
the bond election, to be held July IL,
is known.
This was the decision reached yes
terday morning by the mayor and
board of city commissioners when
the matter OF admitting Swan Park
was presented for their approval.
Promoters of the Swan Park prof.
ect appeared and asked that certain
water mains and sewer mains be ex-
tended to the new addition. Buildings
are being erected there, the COM
missioners were told, and there was
an urgent demand for these improve
ments.
The commissioners. however, agreed
that no greater drain should be placed
on the present water supply of tho
city until II was known whether addi-
tional improvements to the water
works system were assured. 1--WE
cannot take the responsibility of tie
ing in more mains on the present
system until we are assured that the
water pressure Is to be increased"
the mayor declared. AT best, the wa
ter pressure in the city is low, and we
cannot afford to decrease this pres
sure without water the requested
sewer extensions would be of no
value, and for this reason we must
defer this matter until after the cleo
ton. Then, II the bonds are voted,
and we see that the people want the
city to grow and be improved, we will
admit into the city all these additions
now knocking at the door to become
part of Greater Tulsa"

Hearings Ended.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 28.-Real
estate men, representative of building
and loan associations and bankers
presented to the lawmakers their
views on revenue and taxation al
Tuesdays session of the general as
sembly. T. Kennedy Helm, Louis
vile, counsel of the Kentucky Bank
ers' association, was spokesman for
that organization. Other bankers
who attended the hearings were John

Nahm, Bowling Green.
Mr.. Nahm was more optimistic than
the others regarding the operation of
the proposed tax bills if they are en-
acted into law. He thinks they will
be productive of prosperity.
Representative Roach introduced 4
substitute for the Oliver bill, which
provides for tax commission of three
members to be appointed by the gov

a commission to be composed of the
auditor of public accounts, state treas
urer and state secretary. They are

CERMANY'S
OVERT ACT
Officially Reported And Laid
Before Congress For
Decision.
WARFARE ON WOMEN
President May Act Himself If
Session Ends Without Re-
quested Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 28.-The adj
ministratiJn waits upon congress to
give the answer of the United States
to the German campaign of ruthless
ness, which has reached a climax in
the sinking of the liner Laconia and
the killing Of two innocent American
women.
Official accounts of the unwarned
night attack on the Cunarder, re-
garded as the first clear cut case of
violation of American rights since the
severance of relations with Germany,
were laid before President Wilson
and the cabinet Tuesday by Secretary
Lansing. 1t was decided that no step
should be taken until congress had
time to grant the request for addi-
tional authority to protect the lives
and rights of Americans.
After the cabinet meeting it was
stated that the president had no pres
ent intention of addressing congress
again; that he felt that the situation
rested with congress. 1t is rather
generally believed, however, that if
delay continues until adjournment is
at hand he will make further move.
