THE NORMAN TRANSCRIPT—NORMAN. OKLAHOMA
TAX PAYERS SEEK
TO RECOVER MONEY
Eleven Residents Consolidated School
District 2 File Suits in Distrcit
Court Against County Treat.
Eleven tax payers of consolidated
school distrct number 2 filed suits
against Miss Lydia Briggs, county
treasurer, in district court here Wed-
nesday morning. Protest against a
ten mill tax levy placed on all prop-
erty of the 'district by the board of
directors and the county excise
board, is the cause set out for the
action. Recovery of all taxes paid
under such levy is asked by the
plaintiffs.
Charges that the county excise
board made a purported levy of ten
mills to meet the running expenses of
the school for the years 1921 -1922
and that such levy is in excess of the
five mills authorized • by state laws
appear in the bill of particulars filed
by the taxpayers.
Further particulars set out by the
plaintiffs allege that an annual
meeting of the school dstrict was
held on -July 12. 1921, tor the ques-
tion of deciding whether the ten
mill levy should be made, and that
an election was held for tbc pur-
pose of making final decision on the
matter. It is alleaged that the ma-
jority of the tax payers of the dis-
trict voted against the levy and
that a false representation of the re-
sults of the election was made by
the district school board. Charges
that twenty-three ballots were des-
troyed in the count appear also. Sev-
eral other complaints are included.
Those appearing as plaintiffs in
the case and the judgment asked by
each are; G. \Y. Hume, $25.39; W.
O. Jack. $32.25; C. C. Nail, $70.20;
W. F. Wright, $1,130; T. L. Moore,
$33.35; C. E. Turner, $35.87; Z. R.
Bullard, $25.30; 1. S. Siler, $34.05;
J. I. Turner, $34.80; H. M. Siler, $29.-
75; and Guy Neal, $12.50.
Bank Building Work
Expected to Reach
Ground Level Soon
Work on the new Norman State
Jjank ^building should be at the top
ot the ground within ten days pro-
viding favorable weather contin-
ues. according t<> J. W. Stansel, sup-
erintendent in charge of the genera!
construction work. Excavation work
in the rear of the building where
the furnace will be located is practi-
cally completed, he says, an other
foundations construction well under
way.

j < ast front of the building have ar-
I rived- and two car- are scheduled to

Lumber material have arrived also
and are being put in building forms
as rapidly as possible.
The men were employed by Stan-
sel, Tuesday, in cleaning out the
basement of the old building. Two
wagons were kept busy hauling out
the trash and rubbish that had ac-
cumulated Superintendent Stansel
says this accumulation of filth is the
worst mess he has seen in his thirty-
four years experience in construc-
tion work, in the way of a menace tc
public health. The entire basement
has been cleaned out and wil Ibc
fumigated before other work
starts, Stansel says.
As soon as the level of the ground
is reached, construction work is ex-
pected to be pushed at a rapid stride.
