GOVERNMENTS ORDER
CAUSES BUILDING STOP
q Material Needed for War
Prosecution; Tulsa Permits
to Be Light.

Much important new building in
Tulsa has been abandoned during the
past three weeks on account OF the
government asking that II be done in
order that 1t may not be handicapped
in obtaining materials for building
operations necessary 10 the conduct of
the war.
The government has sent out to all
the cities in the country an urgent re-
quest that no extensive building oper-
ations be undertaken at this time. II
stated that it is being severely ham
pered in obtaining necessary materials
for the army and navy because of pri-
vate demands.
Those who contemplated new build
ings were appealed to not to push
them and any person who refused to
obey, the government said, would be
termed lacking in patriotism.
The request has caused number of
important new buildings that were
contemplated by Tulsans to be held up
temporarily and this is one eXplana-
tion OF the large slump in the value
of building permits that have been
issued during the present month In
stead Of reaching half n million, as
was hoped. it is doubtful if the total
for the month will 90 over $500, 900.
This will be only about 60 per cent
of the permits for November

Turkeys are retailing at 40 cents n
