Editing work continues
on Cimarron Family
Legends, Volume III.
This book will be ready
hopefully this fall or
winter, maybe by
Christmas. It seems like
it takes forever to get all
the material together, set
the type, make up the
pages, get them printed,
and then bound into book
form. It does happen
eventually.

WASN'T TIME YET!
PRAG UE--Prague's
new city lake got ahead of
itself with a 7-inch rain
that backed water up a
mile behind the new dam
before the structure was
ready. Workmen say it
will take several days for
the lake to empty so more
dirt work can be com-
pleted to finish up the
dam.

CUSHING OPPOSING
COUNTY SALES TAX
CUSHING--The
Cushing Retail Trade
Committee and the
Cushing Chamber of
Commerce are two groups
which have gone on
record as opposed to any
more taxes in the county.

percent to go to the coun-
ty road system.

Highway 177, on July 15.
We want everyone to plan
now to attend and see
what goes on out there at
the editorial offices and
the warehouse where hun-
dreds of thousands of
back issues of the
magazines are catalogued
and shipped out all over
the USA when ordered by
researchers and western
readers.
Well also have a copy
of the August issue of
True West that has a
several page feature
spread on Perkins,
Oklahoma, the home of
Western Publications.
You ll be interested in
what the editor has to say
about Perkins. This issue
is being mailed out or sold
to the news stands to
some 120,000 readers
throughout a 20 state
area, so Perkins will
receive considerable at-
tention throughout the
states west of the
Mississippi River.

There is quite a group
of new business buildings
being established north of
Perkins on Highway 177
over the past few years.
Maybe these businesses
will join with Western
Publications on July 15,
when they hold their open
house, and also hold open
house receptions so folks
can see what's going on
out there.
Perkins TV & Ap-
pliance has been out there
for several years, then
Henry Stafford built his
building and moved his
mower and saw business
there. Lightfoots are put-
ting in a garage building,
and just up the road is the
dog kennels owned by
Debbie Wooden. Quite a
business settlement out
there.
CITY COUNCIL

Hall will attend the
meeting and make a state
ment to the effect that
Perkins would like to
maintain some water
rights at Kaw Lake until
such time it is seen the
water will not be needed
in the future. Perkins
does not have a longrange
water program at this
time and there is talk
about looking to water
sources other than multi-
ple shallow wells, a source
which has kept the town
supplied through the
years.

lawsuit when the Coppick
family in southeast
Perkins reported they are
securing a lawyer to ask
the town to pay for
damages resulting from
clearing of what they
allege is their property
near the sewer lagoon
system. A survey was
done, city manager
Gerald Hall reports, but
there is a possibility that
the contractor may have
exceeded the survey lines
from 4 to 6 feet. A post
construction survey is
now being conducted to
determine if a mistake
was made on the measure-
ment. City attorney Win-
frey Houston said the
first step is to determine
if a mistake was made and
who made it.

most closely complied
with the request for bids.
A temporary soundproof
wall between the Tryon
kindergarten area and
library area, now both in
the same room, will be
built by Tulsa Acoustical
for $985. A request by
Vibrasonics, Inc., of Bill-
ings, Montana, to run a
seismic test line across
two hundred feet of
school property was ap-
• proved. Vibrasonics will
pay a fee of $25.
Salary increases for
support personnel were
considered and tabled for
discussion in executive
session. The increase pro-
posed by Superintendent
Gill would be offset by
reductions in staff that
have already taken place.
Thus the district could
raise support staff
salaries while actually
decreasing the budget
slightly.
The losses incurred by
fund-raising activities
were discussed. Board
President John Doyle ob-
jscted to the principals
spending administrative
time on collections rather,
than on education and
suggested ways of reduc-
ing the problem be
explored.
Board members voted
unanimously to approve a
one-year lease of school
district land to the Town
of Tryon. Legal adviser
Chris Schlictza told the
board they could not be
held liable for activities
on the leased property
and that they would have
the right to review the
lease annually. A group of
volunteers from Tryon
plans to build a baseball
field on the property.
Finally, it was noted
that the potentially con-
troversial issue of renting
school facilities to the
Church of Christ came to
an end when the local con-i
gregation found other
facilities.
