The fr.n.doii.nnn load bill was le-
poiU'il mil l.j the innii'iuiKc nun
nilttee In the Senate nt Oklahoma
City Thursday evening and without
debate was indeied printed. It was
to lie taken up by the Ken.ite Immed-
iately on convening this i Friday
miuning and disposed ol so that it
could go buck to the House which
must consider some amendments.
The essentials of tlie nu sine how-
cer aie not much different from
the provisions of the original Son
ate and Hoiue bills nnil then- is lit-
tle doubt but that the Hou- will ac-
cept the Senate measure.
A commission of flw meiniiers is
provided the Governor to be one.
and he to appoint four others thev
to lecehe ?r.000 a .e.ir. The orig'-
inal Senate bill made their salaries
$GUnt) hut the House prnWslou
was adopted. The commission may
select a secretary and such other
help as needed and fix salaries. The
State is to be divided into ten con-
struction districts or sections. An
appropriation must be made by the
Legislature for the retirement of
bonds nnd payment of interest.
An engineering corps is provided
for. to be headed by the State Bn-
gineer. The State may liutld roads
through towns which have no pro-
vision for building roads but the
towns which have such provisions
must build the roads. A mainten-
ance fund is to he supplied by an as-
sessment of Bc an acre to property
abutting a roul. graduated down to
lc an acre to properly farther uway
from the roul. Railroads will pay
$lfi a mile and telegraph and tele-
phone companies $S and $' respec-
tively a mile.
The bill has been in l he hands of
the conference committee for sever-
al days and It Is believed that all
objections of members of both hous-
es have be?n eliminated. That the
bill will be passed today is almost a
foregone conclusion.

Cobb & Strickland
to Get New $1 00000 Building
the Improvements which he is con-
vinced are badly needed.
The showing has been made that
the Normal at Durant Is alroady
working under badly crowded condi-
tions and that it had been found
necessary to hold class gathering!
In the school auditorium. This fact
with prospective' Increased enroll-
ment next year and succeeding years
would mako the present facilities
soon entirely iuadeiiuate for the
needs of the pupils and teachers.
A similar appropriation for a slut
liar purpose for the Ada Normal
School has been passed and given
the Governor's approval.
A sure way to keep from having
the dreaded surplus of labor this
year Is to foster public building.
