- Description:
- The document from Congressman George B. Schwabe acknowledges receipt of a letter from W. F. McMurry, Water Superintendent of the City Water Department in Tulsa, Oklahoma, regarding funds made available for cities to plan postwar activities and construction work. Schwabe provides information on the Act passed by Congress, including a provision for $35,000,000 for planning projects, with an estimated $500,000 for the State of Oklahoma. Schwabe also mentions sending a letter to mayors and city commissioners in Oklahoma's First Congressional District on the same subject. McMurry had requested a copy of the bill and Schwabe's opinion on Tulsa obtaining funds for increasing the city's water supply post-war. Schwabe responds positively and offers his assistance.
