It was further pointed out that without the revenue the mill brings into de-t- Monticello and Blanding, that both cities and all the business men will face extreme difficulty in making payments for the expansion program that was necessitated by the ATC Uranium Program. To these thoughts, the commissioners expressed their concern and desire to help, but they pointed out their chief concern in the uranium program is the welfare of the miner and the production of ore and not the mill or mill operators.

The beginnings of Oklahoma City were unique in American history. Between noon and sundown on April 22, 1889, a city of 10,000 persons sprang into being on the rolling prairie along the banks of the North Canadian River. It was peopled by men and women who made The Run when a broad central section of what is now Oklahoma was thrown open by United States Presidential Proclamation to white settlement. They came by train, wagon, horseback and afoot to stake claims throughout the newborn land. Today, little more than half a century, since its founding, metropolitan Oklahoma City has an estimated population of 400,000 and Greater Oklahoma City (30 mile radius of the State Capitol Building) has an estimated population of 520,000. It is the chief market for the states vast livestock industry and a major processing point for livestock and agricultural products.

If such an extension is granted, this would mean that another nine or ten months would be needed to mill the ore on hand. Any extension beyond that period of time is extremely doubtful. The feeling of the three Monticello representatives is that the meeting was beneficial and that the Commissioners will give ojr case serious consideration before a final decision is made.
