No Action on Petition

A petition signed by more than 40
business men of Chickasha was pre-
sented to the council. in which 1t
was asked that the city fathers con-
slider and change the text Of the or
dlnance so that it called for a bond
issue vote on $15O,OOO instead Of
100000 In other words that they
raise the amount of the proposed
bonds $4,000, 1t was explained that
the business men favored this move
in order to provide sufficient funds
for the erection of permanent build
ings in which to hold Grady countys
free fairs.
When tn epetition was presented,
however, council had already passed
the ordinance naming the amount at
100000. Hence the petition was
tabled, no action being taken.
