Appeal Delay Threatens Oklahoma Capitol Project
Guthrie plans to appeal the capital case to the United States Supreme Court, risking delay of Oklahoma's free capitol project. The Capitol Building Company of Oklahoma City with a $1,000,000 project may pause work until the courts settle the location. If the high court reverses, the federal question would be the act barring location until after 1918, potentially invalidating the current site and delaying a new location beyond 1913. A $100,000 temporary capitol building appropriation is under discussion by legislators. Oklahoma City’s Capitol Expense Committee says they will still pay $71,000 for removal quarters, regardless of Guthrie’s appeal.
