Delivery ef the money to the
county was expected to be made a-
j mum! January 10, 1956. but the
Commissioners Court's plan is to
start right-of-way acquisition prior
to delivery r.f the money.
Ptircnasers of tire certificates said
that more than half of them had
already been sold to Ellis County
banks. County banks were given
the first opportunity to purchase
the certificates, Judge Hartsfied
said.
Special Law Passed
Judge Harisf.eld said the .special
law passed by the last session of
the state legislature permitting El-
lis County to sell certificates of in-
dt business w as the same as the leg-
islature had previously passed for
Dallas, Navarro. Kaufman, Denton
and other counties.
"Progress is awfully hard to come
by these days." the judge said, add-
ing that the Ellis County court act-
ed in good faith in what each mem-
i ber considered to be for the best
interest of the county as a whole
. and that the court welcomed the
j legality test.
It was explained that since the
sale had already been made, at-

chased the certificates would de,-

The bright news that everybody
is ready to play countered yester-
days workout which Coach Abe
Martin says was "flat.” But Martin
attributes this to a natural letdown
following the victory over Tex-
as last week.
He says he expects the Frogs to be
keyed up lor the Rice game—a
homecoming encounter that is ex-
pected to draw some 30.000 fans to
TCU's Amon Carter Stadium. This
.would be the largest crowd ever to
see a Rice - TCU game in Fort
Worth.
At Houston, the Rice Owls put
their fastest halfback, T. Homer
Borgstedte, in jersey number 23—
the number worn by TCU’s Fabu-
lous Fabulous Jim Swink — to run
TCU plays against the first and
second teams.
Borgstedte enjoyed varying de-
grees of success, getting away for a
