Details are being completed today
for what promises to be the most i'm
portant meeting ever staged by the
Chickasha Chamber of Commerce, as
there are a number of questions of
vital interest to Chickasha, that are
ready for final action, according to
7. Brown, secretary of the organi-
zation. The meeting will be held at
the G. Of G. rooms, 517 First Ma
tional bank building, Monday even
ing at 1880. Elevator service will be
maintained.
Outlining the matters to be brought
before the meeting, Mr.. Brown stated
that natural gas, the Chickasha-
Cement oil pipe line, refinery prop
osition and the Spring Trade excur-
sion, were among the points in bust
ness to be acted upon Monday night.
For several months the committee
en- natural gas has been continued
from one meeting to the next for the
reason that they could not get any
thing of a definite nature to base
a final report upon. 1t is understood
now that they have connected with
the proper parties and will doubtless
have something to report that viii be
Of interest, Mr. Brown states.
1t is known that the oil pipe line
proposition has received a great deal
of attention by several men during
the week, and that the loose ends are
being picked up rapidly. 1t is be-
lieved that the question will be in
such form by Monday night as to
make it possible to embody the whole
in concrete proposition to be pre-
sented to the Chamber of Commerce
members at the meeting Monday
night.
It is pointed out by men who have
heen actively engaged in this work
for several days that this presents
ono Of the most vital questions to the
future of Chickasha at this time. and
it is also shown that prompt, defin-
ite action must be taken in order to
stamp Chiekasha definitely as the oil
town of this community.
In connection with the pipe line,
the refinery subject is receiving much
discussion. Speculation is rife as to
the possibility Of starting work on q
refining plant here in the near future
The germ rather died out some
months ago, but is now being revived
and will furnish one of the topics for
animated discussion at the C. of C.
session. 1t is, however, not in the
stage of development, ac-
cording to the best information oh
tainable.
The final wallop that is to put the
Spring Trade excursion for Chickasha
over the fence, is booked for the
Monday night meeting. A committee
from the Retail Merchants associa-
ton is slated to meet c. of c. COM
mittee to put the finishing touches on
the proposed tour.
The entire proposition will be thor
oughly explained, including the nu-
merous details of organization, the
route to be selected, the time to be
spent on the excursion, and the vari-
Gus methods to be employed to carry
greetings from Chickasha to the
towns and rural districts round
about.
The program at this time is indef
mite, but the skeleton of that pro-
gram bears possibilities that if half
way carried out will make the tour
the biggest thing of its kind ever
pulled off around these parts. 1t will
be a genuine, old-fashioned, get-to-
gether, my-name-is-Joes-wh 's-yours
sort of an affair.
