Guthrie to be seat of Oklahoma's government under 1910 plan
The 1910 agreements with Oklahoma City propose locating the capitol and erecting buildings there. The Attorney General notes local use failed via the Chamber of Commerce, prompting filing today to push a November vote on amending the Constitution to make Guthrie the state seat. If approved, the $150,000 courthouse and $150,000 convention hall would be turned over rent free until permanent state buildings rise, with the site donated to the state.
