PAYMENTS ON
TOWN LOTS
Same Rule Governing Lots Sold
at Auction Applies to
Scheduled Lots.
The following letter which
touches on points concerning
which our people are very much
interested,is from J.Geo. Wright,
in reply to a letter of inquiry ad-
dressed to him by R. W. Higgins,
and is self-explanatory. Because
ot its vital importance to our
readers we give it space in the
Sun:
Muskogee, I. 1-, May 21, OG.
Mr. R. W. Higgins,
Hartshorne, I. T.
Sir:
1 am in receipt ot your commu-
nication of May 17, 190G, in
reference to Section 12 of the
Act of April 120, 190G.
You ask first, it' this Section
applies to lots scheduled and al-
so lots sold at public auction.
In reply to this question, you
are advised that Section 12 ap-
plies to both scheduled lots and
to lots sold at public auction.
While it might not be considered,
a scheduled lot is sold until the
first payment is made, the Act
ot April 28, 1898, specifically
states that it the first payment
is not made within a certain
time, the lots will be sold at
public auction and therefore the
status of such lots would be,
practically, the same as provided
by Section 12 of the Act of April
2G, 1906, even if the latter Act
did not include them.
You ask second, if Section 12,
above referred to, repeals the
clause of the Atoka Agreement
wherein it is stated it the claim-
ant fails to make proper pay-
ment and the lot is sold at auc-
tion, he shall receive all that
such lot brings less 02' 'a per cent
of the appraised value. In re-
ply to this question, you are
advised that Section 12 provides
that such lot shall be sold under
regulations to be prescribed by
the Secretary of the Interior. As
such regulations have not been
promulgated as yet, I am unable
to advise you definitely iii lefer-
ence to this matter. Such regu-
lations will probably cover this
point when promulgated.
You ask third, it the purchaser
ot any lot sold under Section 12
will be required to pay for the
improvements in addition to the
price of the lot. In reference to
this matter 1 can not advise you
at this time, inasmuch as the
regulations governing the sale
of lots have not been promul-
gated.
Very respectfully,
J. G. Wright,
Inspector.

THE RATE BILL
PASSED SENATE

continuous deliberation, the now
famous railroad rate bill passed

noon, May 19, at 5:45, by prac-
tically a unanimous vote—71 to

Many of these were prepared
with great care. LaFollette ot
Wisconsin, spoke tor three days,
and Bailey, Foraker, Lodge,
Rainer, Doliver and others each
spoke for one entire day.
The senate breathed a sigh of
relief when the bill was disposed
| of. But if anything should hap-
pen to strike you that causes
you to imagine yoursell in the
embrace of cyclone or tornado,
you may know that it is nothing
more than the accumulation ot
sighs ot relict breathed by a pa-
tient and long suffering public.

1 WATCH REPAIRING 3
A * W!ltci, stopped a short lime afterward <li<l the jeweler tell
you that the part of the watch THEN out of or.ler was not cov-
ered by the guarantee? For three years this store has been
repairing your WATCH MOVEMENT no matter what was
wrong with if for $ .oo and insuring it afterward for one ) ear.
If any part of your watch broke, if you aecidently dropped .1,
smashed it or had .he car run over it, there were no more
charges for a year. The fact that this store requires two practi-
cal men to keep up with its repairing while other stores need
less, prov.s the advantage and desirability of our system. We
can repair and thoroughly regulate your watch in from two to
five davs.
