Three rescued from smoke-filled hotel
TULSA (AP) — Fire officials say a cigarette may have been what caused the
third floor of a south Tulsa hotel to fill with heavy smoke and force firefighters to
rescue three people through the windows.
A mattress in a third-floor comer room of the Thrifty Inn caught fire about 9
p.m. Monday, said Acting District Fire Chief Ken Wilmott.
Firefighters pulled the three people through windows of the four-story hotel
and carried them down fire ladders, Wilmott said.
One of the men rescued, Les Brooks, of Lexington, Ky., said he was alerted to
the fire when the smoke alarm went off in his third-floor room. Brooks said he
first tried to escape by crawling down the hall to the fire escape.
* ’There was a lot of smoke and it was real hot... it burned a hole right through
this polyester,” he said pointing to a hole in his pants leg. “So I went back to the
room and waited for the firemen.”
Melissa Lawrence, of Branson, Mo., said the smoke alarm in her fourth-floor
room didn't go off, but someone ran down the hall to alert her.

Casa Grande chosen as War Museum site
PHOENIX (AP) — A military
museum and research complex
planned for a site near Casa Grande
could one day draw more visitors to
Arizona than the Grand Canyon,
promoters of the project say.
The Institute for the Study of
American Wars, a non-profit research
organization based in Wilmington.
Del., announced Monday that it had
selected a site 12 miles northwest of
Casa Grande for the $160 million
complex.
The 300-acre site is on the Red
River Ranch, a 7,500-acre cotton farm
once owned by movie star John
Wayne.
“We chose the Casa Grande site
because its central location makes it
easily accessible to residents and tour-
ists from metro Phoenix, Tucson, San
Diego and Los Angeles,” said John R.
Radell, the institute’s chairman. “In
addition, the direct transfer of 300
acres of land provides an immediate
financial benrift.”
Water...

to pay it off.
Commissioners also voted to estab-
lish a watchdog committee on the
bond issue, to make sure the funds are
used properly. The committee consists
of several local residents.
Commissioner Phil McCormack
said the bond proposal is not “a Christ-
mas list” of special interests in
Sapulpa.
Mayor Carol McMasters said all the
questions on the bond proposal is of
great need to the community and all
the items listed need addressed to
make the city grow and attract busi-
ness and industry.
“To say we are overburdening the
city is wrong," she said. “We have
been conservative in the tax structure,
and we will still be lower than other
cities in the Tulsa metropolitan area.”
Commissioner Bill Erwin said the
bond proposal is an attempt to move
Sapulpa forward and be able to offer
people things that will attract them to
Bellmon.
The site is being donated to the
institute by the ranch’s current
owners, a partnership of Circle K
chairman and chief executive Karl
Eller and developers William S. Lund
and Timothy R. Olson.
Arizona, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma
and New Mexico had competed far the
museum and research complex, which
officials have estimated will provide
up to 600 jobs and generate annual
revenues of more than $17 million.
Radel said that baaed on diacuaaions
with officials at other major tourist
attractions — including Williams-
burg, Vs., the Smithsonian Institute
and Disneyworid — the institute has
projected that the museum could draw
6 million to 7 million visitors annually.
That compares with just over 3.8
million who visited Grand Canyon
National Ark last year.
Radell said the Casa Grande site is/
worth “somewhere between $1
million and $2 million.”
Olson said he and his partners
the community, including arts, health,
streets and other areas.
“If we get the water treatment plant
and all the other things, it will make
Sapulpa a better place to live,” he said.
“And, the price is not that great.”
Lacey said he did not question the
price tag as much as whether the city
has a right to place several items on a
bond for people to vote on, whether
they want it or not
The following is s breakdown of the
bond proposal:
— Construct t new raw water treat-
ment plant complete with attendant
raw and treated water line* to be
located adjacent to the dam at Sahoma
Lake ($6,225,000).
— Construct a raw water line to serve
the Charles C. Hamilton Municipal
Golf Course irrigation system
($125,000).
— Remodel, renovate and expand the
police department building
($600,000).
— Purchase police department
dwyfaH to donate the land because
they believe it was a project that would
benefit the entire sUtesnd “have both
national and international appeal.”
“I dunk that every once in a while
an act allows you to get involved in a
very excilb* project,” Olson said.
“We were fortunate to be able to
deliver 300 acres according to their
terms and conditions.”
Wayne, who died in 1979, owned
the ranch for about 20 years, Olson
said.
“I’m sure he would be very pleased
about the plans to construct this facili-
ty on the property,” he said.
Radell said the ranch wu chosen
“because of the combination of loca-
tion and transfer of property.”
The transfer “was less cumbersome
than any of the other sites,” he said,
but did not elaborate.
Radell said the next step in develop-
ment of the complex will be creation
of a “master plan” and raising the
money to pay for iL
communications equipment
($200,000).
— Remodel, renovate and expand Fire
Station #1 ($350,000).
— Purchase fire department commu-
nications equipment ($125,000).
— Purchase new aerial ladder truck
for fire department ($300,000).
— Acquire land located ‘/4-mile south
of the southeast comer off Wickham
Road and SH 117, and construct a
municipal sports complex ($1
million).
— Remodel, renovate and expand the
Bixby Seniors Center ($200,000).
— Install an irrigation system of golf
course ($125,000).
Miner presented a slide show on the
needs of the various areas addressed in
the bond proposal.
The water treatment plant was built
in 1917 and expanded in 1957. It can
produce three million gallons of water
per day, which meets most of the
current health department standards.
However, in the summer, Sapulpans
DHS...
The first phase of the project, which
will concentrate on the Vietnam and
Korean wsr», will be completed in five
years and is expected to cost $70
million, Radell said.
The overall project, which is to
cover all American wan, will be
finished in about 20 years and will co*t
at least $160 million, he said.
“It won’t be a shoot 'em up, it’s not
meant to be a ihoot ’em up.” R*1®11
■aid. “It’s meant to awaken people’s
senses, young people'* senses to the
fact that history is important and that
conflicts, for whatever reason good or
bad, changed the complexion of our <
nation.”
Radell acknowledged that the insti-
tute has raised only about $60,000
toward the project, but adds that he is
confident that it can raise the rest from
private individuals, corporations and
foundations.
A national fund-railing firm will be
hired to conduct the campaign, he said.
demand six million gallons per day.
A recent engineering study of the
plant identified major problems with
the plant and concluded that renova-
tion and expansion would not be cost
effective or practical.
Commissioners were shown photo-
graphs of aging and leaking water
pipes, manual installation of chemi-
cals and the dangers of the catwalks
that have no railings.
Miner said an equally important
need to that of the water plant is
upgrading emergency radio communi-
cations in both the police and fire
departments.
He said the police department uses
outdated equipment that has repeated-
ly failed leaving officers in the field
without contact with the station or
fellow officers.
The proposal calls for the expand-
ing the police and fire department
buildings, constructing s sports
complex and installing an irrigation
system at the golf course.

talked about,” said House Speaker
Steve Lewis, D-Shawnee, who said
some aspects of the plan appeared to
be portions of earlier proposals that
have been “dusted off and brought out
again.”
The governor called the proposal a
well thought-out plan that has been in
formation for several months, but
accelerated by the looming special
session.
“We believe that once the plan is
understood, there will be widespread
support,” Bellmon said. "Once the
plan is fully implemented, Oklahoma
will be among the leaders in educa-
tional excellence.”
He said teachers would get most of
the new money, noting it could mean
average raises of up to $6,000 per
teacher. Oklahoma ranks 48th nation-
ally in teacher salary, averaging about
$22,000 a year, according to the Okla-
homa Education Assocation.
Kyle Dahlcm, OEA president, was
smiling broadly after Bellmon
unveiled the plan.
“I am optimistic,’’ Ms. Dahlem
said. "I must be optimistic. For the
first time in my memory, we have a
plan of long-range funding. This is a
chance for the first time to do some
long-term planning.”
The tax program overhauls the
method of financing schools and coun-
ty government by replacing the local
property tax with a 15 percent income
tax surcharge and a new 2 percent

“school tax” on goods and services.
The school tax could be increased by
voters, renewable every four years.
The 2 percent “school tax” would
be levied on value received from the
sale or lease of finished goods and
services. It would be in addition to
current sales taxes.
Groceries, on which the sales tax is
now levied, and prescription drugs
would be exempted. The sales tax
exemption would be removed from the
value of professional services such as
those provided by doctors, dentists,
attorneys, accountants, plumbers,
barbers, beauticians and mechanics.
Bellmon said he would expect the
tax on transactions to be passed on to
consumers.
The income tax surcharge would be
assessed as a percentage of personal
and corporate income taxes paid. That
money would be used to fluid county
government that now depends on
property taxes.
(Continued From Page 1)
stamp clients has made a big differ-
ence, said Donna Merry of the Correc-
tive Action UniL About 54 percent of
Oklahoma’s food stamp errors have
been caused by clients who fail to
report changes in income. While some
are wilful violations, many are honest
mistakes by clients who don’t under-
stand reporting requirements, she said.
Under the appointment system,
clients and their workers are guaran-
teed at least 45 minutes to an hour for
an interview, allowing time to thor-
oughly explain a client’s rights and
responsibilities and answer questions.
Workers check to see if tire client’s
account matches computer informa-
tion on other benefits they may be
receiving, such as Social Security or
unemployment benefits. They use a
prescribed interviewing guide, a
“cookbook” of questions which
capture vital information on income,
resources and household members.
DHS also exercised an option to
simplify two costly federal require-
ments starting last January. Until then,
DHS had been certifying clients to
receive food stamps for a year, but
requiring them to fill out a lengthy
monthly report and send it in to be
checked by the worker.
“The cost was fantastic,” Hogue
said.
DHS was processing 23,000 reports
each month at an estimated cost of $14
each for a monthly total of $322,000.
DHS now certifies clients for three-
month periods.
The other change, known as “pros-
pective budgeting,” allows workers to
survey clients’ income for the past
month and use a relatively simple
formula to calculate benefits for the
full three months.
STOCKS OF LOCAL INTEREST
If an individual taxpayer had a state
income tax liability of $2,000, an extra
$300 would be owed under the
surcharge formula.
The plan abolishes property taxes
on homes, farms and other personal
property. An ad valorem tax would
remain for commercial property
valued at more than $100,000 and on
utility company property.
