The rustling citizens of Oakley are |
trying to do things up in a right way. |
They are planning on organizing a |
local company which will put down a |
test oil well. The city also voted upon |
the proposition of issuing eighteen |
thousand dollars worth of bonds for |
the improvement of the water works
system. Thirty-five votes were cast
and all were in favor of the bonding.
The only objection we see to such en-
terprise is that there were so few
people who really displayed and en-
thusiasm or even interest. Oakley is
the making of a good town neverthe-
less.
