Explained
Wiedman and Clement Answer
Readers' Questions On
Tuesday Ballot
QUESTION— Has Norman ever
voted on the question of a muni-
cipal light plant previous to this?
If so when was it and what was
the result?
CLEMENT— In 1921 the city of
Norman voted bonds of $125000 to
construct a municipal light plant
but the bonds were tied up In dls-tn-
taut uni remain there to this
day In 1923 the electric franchise
was awarded the O O A E
QUESTION— What was the total
Income from the O G ft E In
Norman in 1932? How many
kilowatts were put out altogether
and what waa the cost per kilo-
watt to the consumers?
WIEDMAN— Our total income In
1932 am rented to $182453 Our Nor-
man consumption totaled 3043909
kilowatts making the cost per kilo-
watt to the consumers about ' 537
cents This seems high on the face
of It but when one considers the
fact that there are no Industrial
concerns in Norman to pull the aver-
age down it la reasonably low
QUESTION— What is the bonded
' indebtedness of the city of Nor-
man? CLEMENT— The present bonded
indebtedness of the city amounts to
approximately $382300
QUESTION— What was the profit
of the O G ft E last year?
WIEDMAN— Our total investment
in Norman Is $87545232 and our
net profit In 1932 was $6478848 Out
of this comes the 74 per cent divi-
dend much of which was returned
to Norman and other cities over the
state
QUESTION— How many cities in
this state are receiving the serv-
ices of the O O k Eh and how
many are operating under muni-
cipal ownership? -
WIEDMAN— There are 39 Cities
in this state that have municipal
ownership of their light plant while
the O O ft E serves something like
220 cities in Oklahoma
CLEMENT— We have taken cities
outside of the 39 operating in this
state and considered them as well
as those in Oklahoma Wc find out-
standing examples of profit-maTtuig
municipal plants in Stillwater a town
comparable to this and Ponca City

! Adams Holds Revision
Of Codes Necessary
To Transfer Laborers
To Private Industry
Radical revision of governmen-
tal codes of fair competition as a
means of transferring laborers now
I employed on a gigantic t public
works project to private indus-
tries was proposed Friday by Dr
A B Adams dean of the college
jof business administration in his
i address over WKY
j Adams’ speech "The Trend of Re-
icorery” waa the fifth of a aeries
of radio addressee sponsored by the
University Debate forum
An adoption of dictatorial powers
by President Roosevelt as well as
supervisory powers was prophesied
by the Dean as essential to putting
into effect this revision of codes
As a means of preventing a return
of the unemployment situation which
gram Adams emphasized that there
must be unquestionably "a further
prevailed before the recovery pro-
reduction of the hours of labor and
further increase In wages on the
part of private industries"
"If private industry is to shears
surplus laborers and if the consum-
ers of this country are to have money
income sufficient to purchase the
goods which are produced these mea-
sures must be adopted Adame de-
clared "If euch a pokey is not fol-
lowed our present temporary recov-

ernment must use its sovereign power

Federal Relief
Fundin State
Near Collapse
Hopkins Says Further
Grants Not Being
Contemplated
Money Is Dwindling
Beckett Declares Rum
On Hand Will Last
Only Ten Days
OKLAHOMA CITY — P)—
The collapse of the Oklahoma fed-
eral relief program is more of a
reality but less of a mystery than
it has been during the past few
days
Information coming from Har-
ry L Hopkins federal administra-
tor in Washington Friday was
definitely to the effect that no ad-
ditional federal allotments to the
state are in prospect The national
administrator pointed out that
there have already been some
changes made in the Oklahoma
rel'ef setup and he added “there
will be some more''
A L Beckett state relief director
said that funds on hand will be ex-
hausted within ten days at the most
He said that the state has about
90300 beads of needy families on the
federal relief rolls for ' whom only
8200300 is available He revealed
that Governor Murrey drew on this
fund a reserve account of federal
aid built up for emergencies in
apportioning funds to Oklahoma end
other counties in the present crisis
So Reason Given
The Associated Press quoted Hop-
kins from Washington as announcing
there that no additional federal al-
lotments to Oklahoma are In pros-
pect He declined to assign any rea-
son for halting federal aid 'to the
state other than to say "there have
been some changes in the setup out
there and there will be some more”
Hopkins's statement to newsmen
revealed what Bcckctt termed a mis-
understanding over the state nltef
appropriation of $600000 This fund
was made available by the legislature
in the regular session last spring with
half for last year and half for tills
year
Disagree on Figures
State officials say only about $2&u-
000 remains in the fund but Hopkins
declared that he "thought that $600-
000 would bo a more accurate figure"
lie declined to comment on the
reason for the disparity in estimates
raying merely "they have money
wit'r no strings on It and I don't
understand why they don’t use it"
When Hopkins's statement was
shown to Beckett he went Immedi-
ately to Murray's office for a brief
conference Upon his return he said
the governor had no comment
Beckett declared hi -1ms received
no repiy u telegrami and other com-
munications to Washington outlining
the state's plight
