The city officials Of ArdmOre re.
qulre the services of mathemati-
clan who can deduct 1900 from l.
900, according to specifications, cal
culations, and argumentations which
occurred at the meeting OF the board
OF city commissioners Friday night.
The problem came up during a
discussion of n thousand dollar bond.
which IT. f. Snelson, receiver for
the Ardmore Construction Company
claims was never printed, and which
the mayor agrees was never issued,
on the contract on G. street, south
east, which has been completed.
The mayor stated that although the
bond had never been issued, that be-
foro it was issued. there should be
deducted from the thousand dollars
some interest which had been charged
to residents on the street which was
paved, and which, in his opinion
should not have been paid. The
mayor asserted that the construc'
ton company received the bonds on
l
was completed, and at a time when
they had no right to, and that the
people had to pay interest ahead OF
time and denied the people the right
to pay cash If they desired. The In
terest, stated the mayor, was pait
under protest, on this account. The
Ardmore Construction Company. IN
said. should not be paid the interest
for the people would not have haC
to pay 1t, il the bonds had not beer
delivered before time.
Mr.. Snelson stated that he coult
not see where the Ardmore Construc
ton Company could be held for thu
interest except on the thousand dol
lars. for If the bonds had been de
livered prior to the time when the!
should have been, the construction
company was not at fault.
"The bonds were never really exc
cu,ed," remarked the mayor
"Thcy were signed by you,' stated
Mr.. Snelson.
"Yes, they We're signed by me as
matter of convenience so as to re
move them from this table" replie'
the mayor. But someone delivere'
them before the proper time"
In the meantime, City Clerk Thurs
ton had figured up the interest whic'
had been paid under protest an
found that 1t amounted to more thai
S2,G00. and 1t was apparent TO al
that 1t could not be deducted fron
the thousand.
The mayor suggested that the cit
attorney take up the matter with III
attorney for the Ardmore Construc
ton Company.

To get closer to home:

To get closer to home:
Have you forgotten the large num-
Der o. Carter county republicans who
Loyalty supported Lee Cruce for gov

Has It never been whispered in your
ear that our own Charley Carter has
always received the support of many
Ardmore republicans?
Have you never been tipped off
that Buck Garrett in his various
races for sheriff has received many
republican votes:
know of no BIG newspaper which
does not once In a while step out
OF It's regular political column to
support the nominees Of the other
party when they consider 1t their
duty TO do so.
In 1916 many republican papers
Loyalty supported Wilson and mater
tally assisted in his election.
Recently our own esteemed Okla.
homnn supported the republican nom-
inee for mayor In Oklahoma City be-
