making reviews of the oil and gas sit
uatiop thruout the nation.
While Lyons was not in n position
to make a statement OF an official
nature relative to Tulsa's chances of
obtaining this station. il is believed the
government, after receiving his re-
ports, will find II consistent TO locate
the laboratories here.
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce were also hesitant about Voic-
ing a prediction as to the action the
government officials would take be-
cause of the unusual conditions sur
rounding the proposed installation of
this station, the government having
asked a bonus of $4,000 froms the
successful contestant, this action hav-
ing not before been taken by the gov
ernment.
Several towns in Oklahoma and in
other states are after this station hut
Tulsa's chances are considered good as
the 100000 bonus has practically been
assured, and in addition to this two
and half acres of land one mile west
of Tulsa has been pledged providing
the site Is accepted within thirty days
