Tentative Arrang e ments
Outlined Looking to Ulti-
mate Adequate Water
Supply for Ardmore
BOND ISSUE WILL BE
ASKED IN MATTER
BOARD MEMBERS DECIDE UPON
THIS AS SUREST AND MOST
EXPEDITIONS METHOD OF
FINANCING PROPOSITION

Tentative plans for the construction
OF the dam at Hickory creek were
discussed in very thorough manner
at the regular meeting Of the board
OF city commissioners Friday night
II was pointed out that immediate
action must be taken to conserve o
water supply for this city in order
to avert future famine, and that def
mite arrangements must be com
menced at once to provide for the
financing Of the project. All the
members Of the board agreed In their
opinion that the most feasible plan
is to float bond issue to pay for
the cost Of constructing the dam, the
buying Of the land which will be re-
quired as a reservoir ,etc. The mat
ter will be taken up during the week
by the mayor ami memJers Of the
board. and they will compile the
cost involved in order to ascertain
the amount Of money which will be
required.
1t was brought out that the pres
cnt pipe line which is conveying the
water from the creek to the city
lake Is very inadequate. and besides
beng in very bad condition at the
present time. will not be OF suffi.
cient capacity to carry the water
after tho dam will be built. Th,
consumption at the present time is
equal to the capacity Of the line. 1t
l. -. sl,,4 Dk Af hs
beads floated will include the cost
for the construction Of new pipe
line, to be Of twenty to twenty.fiv,
inches in diameter.

craftsman for the Empire Gas and
Fuel Company Mt Bartlesville,' and is
at present in the employ Of the town
Of Cherokee. where he has laid out
considerable paving and other munlc-
ipal engineering work. He filed let.
ters and reference with the city clerk
which win be used by the board for
future consideration.
A general discussion Of the sewage
system and connections in this city
took place BY members Of the board
and the mayor. In regards to the
matter Of property owners connecting
their plumbing with the sewer, 1t was
brought out that in the past only
those who did not deny that they
could not afford to make the connec-
tions, were forced to do so. Others
