Supply the City.

Mayor simmons had declared the
meeting of the city commission ad-
journed yesterday morning and Com
missioner Brink was making his way
for the nearest exit, having kept his
overcoat on thruout the entire scs-
sion. when Judge John \. Oliphant
asked that he be heard on the matter
of securing gas franchise.
Mr. Brink resumed his seat at the
council table shifted his chair closer
toward tie radiator. which was in
the act of committing crime or
false pretcnsc, and remarked that he
was ready to resume operations.
Represents Others.
MIR. Oliphant explained that he rep
resented n party of gas producers
who were In position To supply the
city with gas If franchise could be
secured.

period of less than ten years the
speaker declared, land we would like

MAYOR Simmons answered the
speaker by saying that there was no
policy of the administration to con
troll its public service corporation
plants and that he was in favor of
granting franchise to II company
which would supply the city with gas
in quantities needed.
MIR. Oliphant was informed that
the matter of granting n new fran
chise would have to bc decided upon
by the people of Tulsa at an election
and that the proposition as presented
by MIR. Oliphant would be enter
tanned and that a definite proposal
in written form should be presented
TO the mayor and commissioners that
they might acquaint themselves with

pie seeking the franchise.

GO to Bed TO Keep Warm.

The condition OF families living i'm
frame shacks and tents on the out
skirts OF the city is desperate. There
is no way OF heating these places ex-
cept by coal and wood stoves. The
Humane society has furnished large
number OF stoves but there arc stiil
many deserving families with no heat
In their homes. In some OF these
places the children remain in bed both
day and night in an effort to keep
warm.
Building activities have been
checked by the cold weather. Aside
from the laborcr's desire to avoid
facing the severe elements, 1t has
been impossible to proceed with GER
tain kinds Of construction.
Setting OF the steel for the new
Exchange National bank building at
Third and Boston was halted by the
cold snap. Much damage might be
wrought by putting the steel in place
with the temperature where It has
been for the last two days, says a. f..

was designed for ten stories and there
is no intention to add more floors, he
