Newalla, Okla., Dec. 7.
Mr. J. A. Fox,
County Commissioner.
Dear Sir:
In answer to your circular
of the 4th inst., I wish to say we J
all know what you say is correct ]
and well "sed." But what the |
taxpayers want to know is:
First—Can vou sell $.">,000
worth of bonds on Case township
and at what price, or have you re-
ceived any offer?
Second—What interest will we
have to pay 1
Third—If bonds are voted how
are you going to spend it, spread
it out all over the Township or
will you make some good roads,
then do some work on cross roads?
Fourth—Will you let contract
to best bidder or work them by
days work?
Again I want to say that we
want good roads, but when we pay
out our money for them we want
our money's worth. Are you
going to give it?
Hoping for an early reply, I am,
Yours very truly,
D. F. Harness.

ment Jind Duties
Immediately upon the passage of
this act, the county commissioners
shall appoint or reappoint super-
visors to the number necessary up-
on the roads in the county, if the
township organization has been
abolished, but not to exceed one
supervisor for each township.
They shall make appointment sole-

appointed by the township shall in
a similar way be directed and in-

Pool Hall License Revoked witcher.
Clause. S. N. Campbell, Crit Lath-
ram, Frank Dougherty and E. K.
All Ladies1 and Children's
The pool hall license of Ben
Fereter has been revoked by Coun-
ty Judge B. F. Wolf, on com-
plaint, of Sheriff Pickard.
The complaint was to the effect
that minors were permitted to play
pool, and that gambling and drink-
ing were permitted, and in fact the was
place was conducted in such a man-
ner that it had become a nuisance.
This leaves Cleveland County
without a pool hall, which is per-
haps the only county in the state
that is entirely rid of pool halls.
