the that rid no city or community can for long grow and prosper from an income of a single indus and especially from an industry dependent solely on a natural be it oil or lead and supply of these natural resources is exhaust unless other industrial mediums take their employment commerce and trade dwindles property values go lower and residence and busi ness properties decay and rot There is nothing more tragic than the decayed re maihs of a once thriving prosperous urban with rotting broken head high emblematic of an air but abandoned once thriving community No citizen can take issue with the that in the has developed and and owes her to the lead and zinc mining Likewise no be he property employer or can fail to realize that as these natural resources are or before major source of income is a diversified industrial re placement program must be otherwise this city is destined to become not unlike hundreds of other communities that banked their all on a single natural It has been said on reliable this south west area is the source of a great stock and cattle pro ducing At this Miami has no market with which to handle this great volume of business running into hundreds of thousands of dollars Recently ways and means were provided with which to remedy this situation through the erection of a stock A new an industry allied to an industry that would do as much or more to insure a future stability to this city and than any other single industry that might be As a the same individual reaction on the part of a few sincere and honest as their intentions may citizens unduly alarmed is the same re action that has caused many a city and community to decay and pass away while neighboring communities have grown and The history of towns and cities that no industry of any kind or description was ever proposed or located with the 100 percent approval of all citizens or residents in the History tells us that cities arid towns that have turned down industries due to noise or other towns and residents of which have placed Unreasonable barricades against a natural progressive these are the abandoned and dead com of Miami is at the cross sarie person but who realizes that natural resources of the mines are rapidly being depleted with no human replacement with little or no action for a diversified industrial This project is vital to the very existence of this citys I TYPHOID FATAL TO RICHEST INDIAN Al Horton Accuses State Officials of Greed in Conduct OKLAHOMA May former vice chairman of the State Board of charged today state of were practicing
