of the Commission hearings thus
Santa Fe officials Tuesday ex-
pressed the opinion that several
more condemnation proceedings
will bo filed. How many will de
pend on the desire of land owners
to settle out of court.
Bob Hollowa, Denton real estate
agent retained by the Santa Fe.
said this week that the largest de
mand from any tract of land had
come from the Grant Estate, a
tract of about 90 acres.
Hollowa said attorneys for the
estate have demanded 8180,000 for
15 acres. The land will be used
as right-of-way end as a site for
the 4reight and passenger depot.
The local agent said that one
heir involved had agreed to settle
for 1300 an acre but later withdrew
hia agreement before other heirs

“That is just plain Texas free-

means of stopping such strikes as
the one in Port Arthur.
Shivers suggested a constitution-

The railroad will have to deal
with more than 90 owners before
it geta possession of land for tracks
through Denton County.
J. E. McCrary, chairman at the
Commission appointed by Judge
Gray. said today he had no com-
ment on the observation by Cow-
MY-
McCrary also declined to com-
ment on the fact that. only one
case had been actually settled be-
fore his three man group.
Other members of the Commis-
sion are C. H. Enlow and R. L.
McNabb. AH three men are Den-
ton real estate agents.
The Santa Fe originally planned
to by-pass Denton on its way to
Dallas. Only after extensive cam-
paigining by local businessmen did
the ICC rule that the Santa Fe
must come through this county.
Those pledging their cooperation
to the Santa Fe in ICC hearings
were representatives of the coun-
ty. city, and Deaton Chamber of
Commerce.
In condemnation proceedings be-
fore the Commission here. lawyers
have maintained that their de-
mands are principally for damages
that will be caused by the railroad
in addition to the land's market
value.
la condemnation proceedings,
three witnesses are allowed for the
land owner and three for the Santa
Fe. Each man is called to and
asked for his estimates on the
worth of the land and the damages
to it.
A witness is often asked to qual-
ify his estimates on the basis of
past lend dealing* and real estate
The same Commission has heard
all the cases presented.
Principal witnesses for land own-
ers have been C. P. Masters, Geo-
rge Ritter, George Williams. and
Frank Solomon.
Those that have testified in the
majority of the cases for the San-
ta Fe are R. L. MeGalliard. Sam
Randalls, and Lee Ball
Estimates of land worth and
damages by the witnesses often
run thousands of dollars apart.

Bascom Giles’ turning over the
land commissioner’s job to Rud-
der
general revenue fund in the next
two years. The comptroller, he
said, estimated $148,869,904 win be
available for the general fund-a
61 million dollar shortage.
"Certain changes" in the finan-
cial structure can make up some
of the deficiency, the governor
said.
SCHOOL FUND
These included a change in th*
plan of distributing the available
school fund on the basis of average
daily attendance to save more than
14 million in two years and a state
college tuition boost to $50 a year
to save 18 million to two years.
T Shivers referred to the gasoline
tax ae a “read use” tax, avoiding
the term “sates tax.” The penny
a pack sales tax on cigarets is
an addition to the one cent more
put on to 1950 for state hospital
buildings.
The governor also recommended
changes in the insurance laws,
measures to improve the veteran’s
land program now under investiga-
tion. some state worker salary
