Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "The thousands of visitors expected to jam center buildings during city-county open house Sunday afternoon may relish the chance to learn first hand what makes local government tick. But their pocketbooks will probably be tickled too. That's because all four governmental buildings in the center are bought and paid for. Every single bond that was issued for construction of the County courthouse, city hall, Municipal auditorium and city police headquarters has been retired....There is still $287,000 of the $329,000 bond issue outstanding, but with an assessed evalution approaching $250,000, the cost to the taxpayers on these bonds is little more than a half-cent a year per $1,000 of assessed evaluation.......And then came the crusade for the bond issues. But as they have for most civic improvements, the taxpayers came through....There will be a special ceremony in city council chambers at 2:30 p.m. for the presentation of a portrait of former Mayor Hefner to the city. O. M. "Red" Mosier, former city manager and president of American Airlines, will speak in Municiple auditorium at 4:30 p.m.
