University Bill Becomes a Law
- Students Weil Pleased.
Tho bill providing for an addition
to the Territorial University at Nor-
man has passed both houses of the
leigslature and is now a law.
'I he bill was introduced in the
council by Hon. V DufVey of Cleve
land county and introduced in the
House by Representative Phelps,]
also of Cleveland county. Both
gentlemen worked hard and faithful
for tho passage of the bill, as did !
other interested parties, namely
President Boyd, Henry Asp, 1). L.
l.arsh and others.
The bill provides for a tax of sev-
en-tenths of a mill oil the dollar for
two years on the taxable property
of the. territory to pay for the con-
struction of the Addition*
The bill was a non-partisan meas-
ure and met with no opposition to
speak of, in fact only two dissenting
votes. However, the two legislators
troin Cleveland county are entitled
to great credit for their efforts in [
securing tho passage of this bill. j
When President Boyd of the Uni-
versity telephoned down to Norman!
that the bill had passed, the students,
at the University and the citizens |
of Norman received the news with
great rejoicing, so much so that all!
business was suspended for nearly
