Resort Boss and State Board Face Eviction Impasse
Oklahoma City July 23 A dispute grows between the State Planning and Resources Board and A H McCall over eviction from Lake Murray concessions. Board Director Jack Boyd and McCall will confer in Norman while McCall’s attorney T R Benedum pushes for possible settlement. Morton Harrison served notice demanding surrender of the restaurant and grocery concession for failing to post a $5,000 bond and for sanitation and service-hour issues. The core conflict centers on McCall's 10 year lease requiring 5 percent of gross receipts as rent, with possible higher rates if McCall is ousted, extending to 1959.
