Hudgins, District No. 1

the raises this year were

Though several factors
contribute to the formula to
determine salary increases,
one of the most significant
factor this year was the

Chief Reed remembered
seeing those items at Man
ley’s home and sent officers
back to Lake Country to re-
trieve them.
Reed said a majority of
stolen items have already
been disposed of. “Some
items were sold to unknown
subjects or traded out; some
items were dumped along
the roadside or thrown in
the tras? at the car wash,"
Reed said "No items were
pawned."
Victims who had filed
theft reports prior to Sept.
26, were notified.
Don Nelson, first assistant
district attorney, was also
notified and came to the po-
lice station to discuss the
pending charges on Manley.

Would you like to have the telephone book on your com-
puter desktop? And as a business person, would you like to
have all the advantages of an ad without 98 percent of the
expense?
It’s an idea whose time has come . . . bringing the tele-
phone book into the 21st century. And if it continues to
catch on as it has over the past 10 months, it may save many
businesses in the Tulsa area as well as those in many ma-
jor cities around the country literally hundreds of millions
of dollars
it began, as must great ideas begin, to meet a need. Lynn
Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer of Tulsa E-Pages was op-
erating a couple of businesses in Tulsa. He was spending a
large amount of money on yellow page ads in the South-
western Bell Telephone book. Mitchell refers to the
amount spent as “ridiculous — very expensive.” And while
sitting at his computer, it dawned on him that most of his
reference needs were right there on the computer. Items
like a dictionary, an encyclopedia, a thesaurus, all were
just a click away... everything, that is, except the one “ref-
erence book” that he used the most — the phone book.
