CONVENTION HALL WILL
RENT HIGHER IN 1917
Board Of City Commissioners Has
Found That Old Arrangement
Was Not Satisfactory.

S. a. Daily, custodian of Convention
hall. announced yesterday that per
sons desiring the use of the hall on
and after January l must deposit the
amount specified by him with the
commissioner of finance and present
him with a receipt for the money, be-
fore any movements will he made to
prepare the hall for the purpose for
which they desire il.
81 refuse to shoulder the RESPONSE
bility of having the money turned
over to me-" Mr.. Daily said, it ex-
cites too much suspicion"
The change in the means of obtain
ing the use of the hall was made by
the board of commissioners and
Mayor Simmons Thursday at the re-
quest of Mr.. Daily.
Heretofore persons have obtained
the use of the hall by either paying
Mr. Daily beforehand or after the
service was rendered. Such a plan
was unsatisfactory to the custodian
and also to the board of commits
sloners
Mr.. Daily also announced that after
the first the payment for the use of
the hall will be higher than during
the year 1916 on account of the fact
that the janitors work in the hall
will no longer be done by prisoners
of the city Jail, but by employed
service.

That this is a victory for the admin
istration there is no dispute. II Is not
a secret that W. a. Durant, reelected
to the lower house from Bryan county,
has been assuming the role of peace
maker, or peacemaker, rather, between
the governor and members of the leg
islature, and he has been devoting
much of his time in the interest of
l'aul Nesbit. He has done a clever
job. too.
1t is said that Tom Waldrep of Pot
tawatomie county, who was one OF the
candidates for speaker against Nesbt,
but who was one of the first to get
out of the way will be speaker pro
tenn. of the house and II. X. FitZger-
aid of kiowa county will be chairman
of the Democratic house caucus.
Officers and employees of the senate
have all now been selected at "A caucus
of the body. There is now no opposi-
tion to G. w. Board of Okemah for

been re-selected as secretary of the
