Assessment of Oklahoma Cotton

tains the action Of the county com.
missioners in refusing the petition
filed by the Oklahoma Cotton Mills

Citizens Express VielOs On
Memorial Park Project For
Grady Men With u. S. Forces

That the memorial park propo
sition proposed by the Lions club al
a recent dinner is being given con
siderable thought by the citizens OF
Chiekasha, is evidenced by express
sions heard regarding the proposal
While all favor such a park as a
memorial to the Grady county boys
who served in the world war some
think that now is not the time to
float such project Others are
strong in the belief that now, above
all other times with the war brought
to a successful conclusion, is the
moment to start work on the pro.
ject
l.. c. Hutson, OF the Indahoma
Gins is strongly of the opinion that
such a park should be constructed
as soon os is possible. Speaking
OF the matter, Mr. Hutson said, "a
memorial park for the Grady county
boys is certainly a fine idea. II
should not be made merely a park
with flowers and trees, in my opln-
ion There are hundreds OF such
parks In this park should be a per.
manent structure in the form OF
a small bungalow be erected in this
park, and that therein should be kept
such war relics as may be collected
There will be innumerable articles
available that will be of historic
value. There will probably be Ger
man cannon available that may be
mounted in the park. With such
relies ON display, the park would be
frequented by the people. 1t would
be an institution Of interest to every
one who lives in Chickasha or who
comes to the city"
T. H. Dwyer, president of the
Chickasha National Bank states that
in his opinion, the launching of
park proposition should be DELAYED,
owing to conditions lie said
"Chickasha needs park and the
memorial feature Of such an in
stitution is fine, but the way look
at 1t, the time is not ripe to launch
such o project There are too many
things to claim the attention and
the finances of the county at this
time. Then there is the reconstruc-
tion period when business will be
re-adjusting itself Matters that
come up during that period must
have attention. In addition, Grady
county has just passed through

wrong, but fit is my idea that such
project should be postponed foi
time"
II, j. Brownson, local druggist, ex
pressed himself as strongly favorine
the park movement, but offered the
suggestion that instead Of making
one large park, the proposition be
divided into at least two parks 1T
is great movement, in my opin-
ion.' said Mr. Brownson Il be-
lieve that Chickasha and Grady
county would get more benefit out
of the proposition If two small parks
were constructed If they were only
block or a half block each in area
it would be ample, would say
that one should be located in the
north and one in the south part Of
the city Maintenance would be a
big feature. They should be kept
in fine shape and there should be a
monument in the center with the
names Of the Grady county boys
thereon"
A county bond proposition with a
small county levy for maintenance,
Is the manner in which Il. l.. SluAher
cashier of the First National hank
would handle the proposition. Mr..
Slusher said, "The proposition should
be countrywide. | don't believe il
would be justice to Chickasha nor
to the county to make IL purely
city proposition. There have been
only few Chickasha boys killed
while several of the county hove
given their lives for the cause Of
freedom The way it appears tc
me, the project should be handled
by a county bond issue for the con.
struction Of monument ad park with
a small county levy provided for
the maintenance of the grounds and
what buildings, or foundations are
decided upon and erected"
a small park centrally located is
the idea Of Jonas Cook, real estate
man. THE size or the pafk is IN
way of secondary consideration.
The location is the big thing. This
memorial park should be, | believe,
located MS near the center Of town
as is possible. | would suggest that
a block or a half block of ground be
procured up town, beautlficd with
trees, flowers, shrubbery and foun.
tains and maintained in the best Of
order"

sential industries and that pool halls
are not essential in the reconstruc-
tion made necessary by the war and
resulting conditions; and
Whereas: the County Council of
Defense believes that it will be to
the best interests of this community
and city and to the government if
pool halls be closed until conditions
become normal, now, therefore
BE it resolved That we recon-
mend to the mayor and city council
that of authority exists, they prevent
the opening of pool halls in the city
of Chickasha and we further recon-
mend to the county officials that
no license for pool halls be issued ~
