"In 1913 the Indebtedness OF Tue

there was voted an additional

creased to $4,000, 900 and the levy
for the sinking fund decreased TO
"a mills. In 1913 the city's prop
hrty valuation increased to $4,000
600 and the levy for tho sinking
fund WAS reduced 10 mills. In four
years the sinking FUND levy has de-
ceased from as mills to mi lls
while tho bonded indebtedness has
Increased 100000. all due to the
fact that Tulsa is rapidly growing In

decreased taxes
II lH predicted that the con

wealth will take care OF the pro-
posed bond issue TO provide tunds
FOR extending the facilities to accom- !.
nodstc the large increase In school
