That Tulsa might have been saved
a large Eum OF money by the adop-

or this project was investigated 10
years ago. Is revealed by reference
to the report OF 4. q. Hughes. who
was city engineer OF Tulsa At that
time. Mr.. Hughes Yesterday gave
The World the following summary
OF his report:
Sometime In 1909 W. II. Chastain,
then water commissioner. and my.
self as city engineer, were author
lied by the city commission To make
an investigation and report the
feasibility and cost OF securing a
supply OF 100000 gallons Of
water per day through "A pipe line
from the Grand river directly east Of
Tulsa and also from Spavinaw creek
farther north. 1t Is approximately

which time cast iron pipe Was quoted
at SEA "A ton. amounted to approx
mately tI.950.000. Tho estimated
cost on the proposed Spanivaw pro-
Ject was S2.7O0,O0O. We gave no
preference as to location.
"Mr. Chastain In an additional re.
port covered tho economic side OF
The question undertook TO show thar
the city at that time. with the income
to be derived from the water depart
ment, would not be able TO pay the
interest on the bonds. take care OF
the sinking fund and meet the
expenses. and also showed
the additional taxation To be carried
by the property valuations then ex-
listing TO make up the deficit.
There was considerable discus
sion Of the matter at the time but
owing to the figures submitted by
Mr.. Chastain and the general apathy
of the public and the press, the CITY
took no action ana the
projects were allowed TO die.
