not acceptable he stated. He added
that farmers should not overlook
bringing along copies of their 1955
article in the July issue of West
Texas Today states.
The magazine, in an article re-
flecting on the effect of the new
highway system on West Texas
highway engineer D. C. Greer as
saying that “1,359 miles, 47 per
cent, of the proposed Interstate
System for Texas will be in West
Texas.”
The magazine, monthly publica-
tion of the West Texas Chamber
of Commerce, states that Greer
estimates West Texas’ share to be
about $377,964,000 or 25 per cent
of the total allotment for the
State’s interstate highways. Texas
will receive about $1.6 billion dur-
the next 13 to 15 years from the
Federal government for the pro-
gram.
The article also explains the
current highway program of the
Texas Highway Department.

$400 MILLION TO WEST
TEXAS HIGHWAYS
The death of an intestate per-
son (one who has made no will)
may give rise to many problems
regarding distribution of his sep-
arate estate. In the preceding col-
umn we investigated the manner
of dividing the community estate
upon the death of a husband or
wife. Now we shall see that, where
separate property is involved, a
completely different set of rules
applies in determining heirship
and apportioning the estate among
the rightful claimants.
It may be well to recall that the
separate estate of a husband or
wife includes property owned by
either before marriage, and that
which is acquired after marriage
by gift or inheritance. Any other
property acquired after marriage
is presumed by law to be commun-
ity property until the contrary is
clearly proved.
Now, here is a general idea as
to how your separate property will
be divided if you do not make a
will with contrary provisions prior
to your death.
and its economy,
adds that the total cost for this
West Texas construction will be
about 128 million.
The article also quotes Greer
concerning future multilane or ex-
pressway construction for West
Texas which is now on the High-
way Department’s program books.

Social Security
Information...
Many persons who are filing
claims for social security benefits
are overlooking the requirement
that certain proofs must be sub-
mitted before their claims can be
certified for payment, according to
John R. Sanderson, manager of
the Amarillo Social Security Of-
fice.
Mr. Sanderson said that failure
to present the necessary proofs at
the time the claim is filed causes
the claimant to have to make one
or more additional trips to the so-
cial security office. As a result of
these extra trips, people have to
wait longer to be interviewed, the
processing of claims is slowed up
and claimants have to wait longer
before they receive their first
monthly check.
Mr. Sanderson explained that in
most cases the claimant must sub-
mit proof of his date of birth. He
said that the best proof is a birth .

viving children or descendants of
previously deceased children, the
children and their descendants
immediately obtain a full (fee)
title in two-thirds of the real, es-
tate involved. The surviving
spouse receives a life interest ’in —
the remaining one-third of the real
property, which passes on to the
children and their descendants
upon the death of the spouse.
The rule for distributing person-
al property—cash, stocks, bonds,
furniture, or any other items not
constituting real estate—is dif-
ferent. Here the surviving spouse
gets full ownership of one-third,
and the children and their des-
cendants inherit the balance.
Now suppose your husband or
wife survives, but there are no
surviving children or their des-
cendants. In this case the surviv-
ing spouse inherits all of the per-
sonal property involved.
With regard to real estate, the
survivor obtains full title to one-
half,. and the other half is divided
between your mother and father,
if both survive you. If only one of
them survives, he or she receives
only half of this portion, and the
other half (or one-fourth of the
entire real estate) will be divided
among your brothers and sisters
(and their descendants) who sur-
vive. If there are no surviving
brothers and sisters and their
descendants, then the one surviv-
ing parent inherits the full one-
half.
Where no parent survives, but
there are brothers and sisters and
descendants, the full one-half is
divided among these survivors.
And, if there are no parents or
brothers and sisters (and their de-
scendants) surviving, then the sur-
viving husband or wife inherits all
of the real estate.
