MILLION DOLLAR
MONTH PROBABLE
Continued Expansion of Tulsa
is Shown by Issuance of
Building Permits.

The third "Million Dollar Month"
for building permits in Tulsa is as
sured. Yesterday afternoon the week
closed with the building permit rec
ord showing that already $S40,929 in
building permits had been issued,
may receive the remaining s159,07l
in permits TO have the month rise to
the million dollar mark, or an average
of $17,647.55 day. During the first
daily average has been $46,7lS.03, or
twice the amount necessary for the
daily average which must be main
tanned.
That this remaining $159,07l Will
be easily raised and will place the
month in the million dollar class, is
predicted by attaches of the building
inspectors office who expect to have
written, within the next week, at least
ten permits for residences 10 be erected
by Cosden 4 co. in West Tulsa at an
average cost of $4,000 each. Work is
now under progress on a huge two
story building on the corner of Bould-
ef ana BRADY, IOf Nnlcn permit mas
not been procured and which will be
in excess of $4,000. A three-story,
$4,000 structure, to be erected at the
corner of Cheyenne and First, will add
its share 10 the total assured.
That there Is even possibility Of
n Sz,000,000 month, tho hardly a
probability, is seen from buildings
which are even now contemplated, for
which plans have been drawn, but for
which no permits have been issued.
Among this class is the Baker office
building, which is to be erected at
Third and Detroit, az q cost of more
than 100000. The Kennedy build
ing, adjoining the Gallias building
would add another 100000 to this
total ana the contemplated First Ma
tional Bank building, at Main and
Fourth. would probably add $400, 900.
or a grand total were these included
oil f2,200,000 for the month Of Octo-
Der.
Since the first day of 1917. to an in
cluding that of Saturday, total Of
$6,937,810 in permits have been issued
thru the office Of the building inspec-
tor Already 1917 has hung up two
months in which the building PEI its
exceeded the million dollar mara, in
January and In May February stands
as the lowest month IN the list saw
S452,974 In permits issued while all
OF the remaining months were good
for more than 100000 worth Of per-
mits each.

APPOINTS COMMITTEE
TO REWRITE CHARTER
Mayor Simmons Selects Six
Prominent Men to Frame
Managerial Form.

Mayor ]. II. Simmons yesterday an
nounced the appointment of the fol-
lowing named citizens to rewrite the
city charter for submission 10 the
voters at special election in the near
future: -
A. J. Biddison, lawyer.
Thomas Lyons, lawyer.
w. j. Gregg. lawyer.
o. II. Leonard, banker.
j. w. McNeal, banker.
John o. Mitchell, former mayor and
property owner.
The city charter has not been
changed since It's adoption several
years ago. Many new provisions, to
meet the problems of the city that
have arisen since the commission form
of government was inaugurated, will
be included in the new charter. The
outstanding feature will be the adop-
ton of the managerial form of gov
ernment, and this will be the dominant
note in the special election to be held
after the committee completes its task.

MENKES BEFORE CITY CLUB
Rabbi of Jewish Reform Church Spoke
of every Mans Burden"

Busy business men, members and
guests of the City club stepped long
enough yesterday during the noon
hour luncheon Of that club at t,otei
Tulsa to hear Rabbi Jacob f. MenKes,
of the Jewish Reform church, deliver
lecture, Every Mans Burden" in
which the speaker pointed out lnat
nc man. no family. no community and
no country was dependent alone on
the activities. the resources and en-
creies of that group alone.
Rabb! Menkes began his address py
drawing a parallel between the first
trail Of the fisherman who made his
way to the hunters hut to exchange
fish for animal skins and the produccr
of one coi.inent who shipped by boat
and rail his products to the manu-
facturer of another continent.
More than one hundred men were
present when the rabbi. recently called
here to inaugurate n church from
Bradford, Pa, where he has resided
for o number of ysors. and where he
was known as one OF the most promi.

NEW DRAFT PLAN
TO BE EMPLOYED
President Wilson Puts Off.cla4
Stamp of Approval to
Crowder Scheme.
REDUCES LOCAL BOARD WORK
Every Registrant VIII Know
When He May Expect Call
to the Colors.

WASHINGTON. Oct 20.--A sweep
ing change in the machinery OF the
selective draft based on division of
the nine million remaining registrants
into five classes, in order of their
eligibility for military service, was an
nounced today by Provost Marshal
General Crowder. Details of the plan,
which has been approved by Presi-
dent Wilson, are not disclosed. 1t is
calculated, however, to do away with
virtually all the complicated machin-
cry Of the first draft and to make the
operations OF the local boards here
after little more than rubber stamp
proceedings.
Every Man to BE Placed.
The plan was worked out at con-
ferences with local and district board
officials and approved by the various
state authorities. Its chief features
are that every registered man will
know his exact position and be able
to arrange his affairs accordingly and
that no man deemed necessary in any
important industry or needed at home
to support his family will be called to
the colors unless the military situa-
tion is desperate.
Next Call Not Imminent.
Detailed regulations to govern tho
new system are now being made ready
for distribution to local and district
board members. General Crowder in
a formal statement assures them that
they will be given ample opportunity
to familiaiize themselves with these
regulations before the machinery pro-
vided is called into use. As the next
call to the colors is to be made under
the new plan this assurance is taken
to indicate that the second call is not
to be expected before the first of the
year, altho no authoritative statement
on this point was available tonight.
