Adopted Condemning
Obstructionists

strong resolution was hdopted
rhrrsdav by tho Tulsa Real Estate
avchaugc in which that organiza- .
~, "condemns the action OF any in
S,gidual who docs or who may OPP
se', The Dawson township hard
a,,rfaced road bond issue ITO pro-
mote his selfish interests"
The resolution was written and
o,esentcd at the exchanges weekly
,nce,lng at I'D Woods cafe by a
"ommittec of members composed of
r q. cunningham, chairman. G. H.
Wesbew and John II. Miller. who
were appointed last week by Presi-
dsnt NJ y. Glass and instructed to
make an investigation and report at
the next meeting.
According TO the letter which ac-
compani,d this resolution the COM
,nlttee Interviewed G. s. Avery, who.
is alleged. was instrumental in
yrowipg the S250,000 bond Issue
into the courts. Avery, the letter ad-
yised. STATED to us that he was not
a marty To- said suit. had not OPP
nosod sald bond issue, and would not
40 so Notwithstanding the fact that
he did not approve the system as
laid out
I'VE also learned from other
sources" the letter continues, that
Mr. George Reeves. the attorney in
tbis case is also the attorney for Mr.
Avery in his personal affairs, and
therefore suggest that II would be
well for us in this case to enlist the
co.operation of Mr.. Avery, as he
might have some influence to the
end that this suit be dismissed.
Merits Good Road System.
I'VE find that Dawson township
is one Of the richest townships In the
state Of oklahoma; its natural re-
sources are such as to merit the
hest facilities for marketing It's
pioducts. and hard-surfaced roads
az proposed leading into Tulsa
should prove mutually advanta-
geous to the city OF Tulsa and
Dawson township.
I'VE find the taxpayers of Daw-
son township voted said bonds by a
majority Of 295 'votes.sIId that mere
were 476 votes cast at SAID election.
We find that tho principal object or5
are already serted by another hard
surfaced road.
In o general way we wish to
suggest to this organization that
most OF the opposition 20 the bond
Issue is prompted by taxpayers for
selfish purposes, and in connection
with this we wish to further suS-
gest that in the resolution adopted
By this exchange we should heartily
condemn the action Of any citizen
who permits MS selfish Interest to
stand in ''ic way OF thG progress OF
bis Community.
The resolution written bv .hlsI
committee an passe unanimously
by the exchange Thursday reads as
follows:
Whereas, at a regular meeting of
the Tulsa Real Estate exchange, a
committee OF three, consisting OF f.
G. Cunningham, C. II. Meshew and
John II. Miller. was duly appointed
for the purpose of investigating the
feasibility, justice and beneflSs to-
be derived from the bond Issue ic-
Gently voted in the sum of $3.50, 900
by Dawson township f0r good
roads. and also the reason. II any,
for the opposition to said oond issue.
and
Many Benefits From Bonds.
Whereas said committee has
made It's report to this exchange
showing that there are many rea-
IONS WY tnere should be no oppOsl-
ion to said bond issue, and that
here are many benefits, to be de-
rived from said roads to be built
from said bond issue: and
Whereas, said report further
shows that the opposition TO said
3 bond issue is prompted generally by
citizens who permit their selfish
interests to stand in the way of the
progress Of the community;
Now therefore,, be II resolved
hat this organization pledge it's CO.
operatitn to the citizens Of Dawson
lownship in fighting any litigation
opposed to said bonds.
Resolved further. that this
equalization condemn the action OF
any individual who does or who
may oppose said bond issue to pro-
mote his selfish interests.
Resolved further, that n copy OF
l lns resolution be furnished TO the
aaily press and copy transmitted
70 every civic organization In the
eiiy OF Tulsa with our earnest re-
quest that they cooperate with us
IN this matter"
