Scope and Contents

The letter from Mr. Keith L. Rising to Congressman George B. Schwabe expresses frustration over building permits being granted for commercial buildings while his request for a permit to build a house for his family is denied due to a supposed shortage of materials. Congressman Schwabe agrees with the sentiment, criticizing the regulations of federal bureaus and advocating for American citizens to have more freedom in their building decisions. The enclosed article discusses a building boom in Tulsa with various construction permits being approved, including for a laundry building, nursing home, orphanage, and auditorium.
