has recently been taken in East
Texas to determine what kind

that the amount of travel will
justify the building of concrete
roads in most instances.

Speaking of the low price of
oil Mr. Terrell said that under
orderly production, the price
should be about $1.25 per bar-

cents. “The difference,” said
