ANOTHER chance for Tulsa to set

day morning wehn J. it. Marvin and

in associate! withdrew their proposal

to install a storage reservoir a) Bhell

sand gallons of consumption. The

action of Mr. Marvin und bis asso

ciates wiih no surprise to those fa

mlllar with the water situation. It

was precisely what happened when

Layne & Bowler proposed to Install

a well system on a guarantee, both us

to quality and quantity. So many ob

been blocked somewhere with some

The name attitude was shown to

Marvin and his associates and after

nearly a year's qiilpt Investigation in

cluding even the problem of acquiring

title to the rescrvior site and rights-of-way

they concluded that It was

useless to press a further considera

was this opposition found among the

was encountered among private citi

end.

The opponents to the proposition to

allow any private company to Install a

position most generally upon the

ground that it will add to the present
