FORT WORTH.—Instead of only
thirty-two public works projects under
way in Texas, there should and would
be 100 to 150 such projects in full
swing giving work to thousands of un-
employed if red tape hadn't clogged
l’WA headquarters at Washington.
R. A. Thompson of Dallas, State PWA
engineer who resigned Thursday,
charged Friday:
“The PWA at Washington is too
technical,” the veteran Texas engin-
eer declared after pointing out that
282 projects costing $(>5,500,000 have
stead of confidence. Tjie administration
tends to treat everybody as if he were
a crook.”
Sheep & Goat Ass’n
Adds New Members
hool Notes
Forty-nine members were added to
the rolls of the Sheep and Goat Rais-
ers' Association at a meeting attend-
ed by 150 persons at the Kimble
County courthouse in junction Sat-j
unlay, according to H. M. Phillips,*
secretary,
A feature of the meeting was a talk
by Coke R. Stevenson, speaker of the
Texas House of Representatives, who
expressed the belief that if T. A. Kin-
caid, the president of the association,
had not represented the stockmen in
a Salt Lake City conference that the
goatman would have been left out of
the buying program. Mr. Stevenson
urged membership in the body, said
with better dessimination of informa-
tion, before the legislature that bet-
ter laws can be made.

Schreiner Preps 12, Rocksprings 0
On Saturday, September 29, the
Schreiner Preps defeated the Bulldogs
12 to 0. The Preps made two touch-
downs but failed to score either point.
The ball was in the possession of
the visiting team most of the time, but
th'e Bulldogs played a good defensive
game.
Our team is still going strong, even
though we were defeated by the Preps,
for they arc a college team with more
experience against our high school
team.
Our next game will be a practice
game with Sonora at Sonora on Satur-
day, October 6th. Back up your home
team and lets win this game!
Anyone going to Sonora Saturday
<tomorrow) and has room for a pas-,
sengcr, please call by the school house.
Wool Going Now
At From 18c to 24c T<
(Sam Ashbnrn in San Angelo Times)
Synchronizing with the patter of feet
of striking'workmen returning to the
mills in the East were heavy sales of
wool in West Texas in recent days.
Prices for 12-moqths wool have ranged
from 18 to 23 1-2 cents a pound. Some
houses have been cleaning their pre-
mises of the 1933 fall wool at prices
jof 17 to 18 cents, while one car of
. 1934 fall wool was reported sold in Del
Rio. /

“It appears to me, both as an en-
gineer and a citizen trying to help
solve a national problem that the
PWA headquarters hands down too
many trifling rules and regulations,
especially in view of the large number
of people who need work and the nec-
essary public improvements
should he constructed as soon as pos-
sible,” Thompson said.
"It’s no wonder that hundreds of
Texans have written to us asking why
their projects have been so long delay-
ed. We have done our best to soften
the resentment expressed often again-
st the PWA by kidding them along.

“In short, the dilatory tactics of the
PWA has thoroughly disgusted me
and plenty of others as well. I’ve
sometimes wondered if projects are
not being purposely held up in Wash-
ington.

gone so far as to vote bonds to meet

bably not beyond December 1st. even

In commenting on Mr. Ferguson’s
interview The Texas Weekly says:
“This last statement illustrates how
loosely Mr. Ferguson sometimes hand-
les figures. His own estimates for the
needs of the next three months
amount to a total of $13,500,000. And
yet he says that a State appropriation
of $9,500,000 "even with Federal
matching" would not be enough to car-
ry us through December, "probably
not beyond December 1st.” With “Fed-
eral matching" a State appropriation
of $9,500,000 would mean a total bf
$19,000,000 and according to Mr. Fer-
guson's own estimates the amount
needed until December 1st is $8,000,-
000. One can have little faith in the
estimate* of a man who quotes fig-
ure* to loosely.”
