Under the first resolutiop
adopted by the council, it was
noted that “a plan has been
submitted to the treasuzer and
councilmen of the City of Law-
ton, Oklahoma, providing for the
payment of a greater rate of
i interest than has been secured
previously on investments of the
funds of the city, and which
would result in an increase in
income from such source.”
Pointing to the requirement
hat the city place the maxi-
mum available amount of funds
in one depository to secure the
maximum advantage from the
plan, the council resolved that
the American National Bank be
designated as a depository for
the bulk of the funds of the city
‘ because of the offer of said
bank to pay to the City of Law-
ton the highest rate of in-
terest obtainable for time de-
posits . . .”
The resolution noted a rate of
512 per cent per annum for de-
posits in multiples of $100,030
invested for periods of 30 days,
or a rate of five per cent per
annum for deposits of smaller
sums invested in 30-day certifi-
cates of deposit.
Four Others Designated
In the resolution, the council
designated four other depositor-
ies for specific deposits. They
include the Cache Road Nation-

WASHINGTON (AP) - Lo-

agencies have been ordered
by the federal antipoverty
agency to reorganize then-
governing bodies by March 1
to give representatives of the
poor at least one-third of the
seats on their boards.
The order by the Office of
Economic Opportunitv. was in-
cluded in new guidelines dat-
ed Jan. 11 and made public
today.
Local agencies have always
been required by law to pro-
vide “maximum feasible par-
ticipation." It was not until

The OEO said the repre-

be selected democratically,
though not necessarily by di-
rect election by secret ballot.
The OEO said the agencies
may use one or a combina-
tion of the following methods
for selecting representatives,
who need not be poor them
selves.
1. Hold nominations an
