Dear Mayor mad
January 30, 1975
Please find herewith a copy of a letter I received several
days a.90 from CommissionerJohn Thomas in Tulsa, It would
appear from his letter that it is important that we receive
favorable treatment in this regard so that the town of
Owasso will be assured of a. proper, water supp].y.
Many of our friends and suDporters J"Ln Owasso would probably
conclude that due to Bird Creek flooding we have now "an
abundant water supply." Be that as it may, facetiously,
we both understand the seriousness of the water supply
oroblem, In view of his letter, I have sent correspondence
urging favorable action on -the City of Tulsa.'s request. If,
in the meantime, you have reflections on this or any other
matter with which I can lend assistance, please feel free,
as always to write, or visit.
Sincerely, with best personal regards,

Dear Senator Shatwell®
On February 7, 1975, at 9:00 a.m., the City of Tulsa
will appear at a hearing before the Oklahoma Water Resources
Board to request water rights for 150 million gallons per day
from the Illinois River at the Tankiller Dam. This water has
already been impounded by the Corps of Engineers and if
granted the. water rights, we will request storage allocation
from the Engineers in the already existing facilities.
We earnestly ask your support of this project which
will most certainly affect the future water supply not only of
the City of Tulsa but Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Owasso and
Sand Springs; and we are now discussing a permanent connection
with Sapulpa. Our application, therefor ' e, is more of a regional
nature for this whole area rather than one for the City of Tulsa
alone. If you will support this project, will you please communi-
cate the same to the Water Resources Board and also solicit any
and all support that you are able to find among your fellow
legislators from whatever district they may live in.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Yours very tru
