TTie University of Texas
Board for land leasing has
-announced that it will again
employ the pnblic auction sys-
tem when 73 tracts of West
'Texas oil land are placed on
the market March 25. The
auction will be at Austin.
All of the land to be offered
is situated in recognized oil
territory or is reasonably close
to- oil production, 30 the March
25 auction is expected to be a
good test of the system.
University officials already
are convinced that it is best,
bat other officials doubt it.
The state land office prefers
sealed bids.
Sealed bids are used by the
state mineral board in leasing
river beds.
The first auction lease was
conducted by the University
board July 20, 1936. Since that
time the university has re-
ceived 32,082,957 as bonus for
leases. Terms of university
land leases are fixed as to roy-
alty and annual rental.
Before July, 1936, university
lands were put on the market
at sales under sealed bids. The
figures sustain the university
contention that auctions have

brought in more money. / But
other officials say the increase
is not due to the change of sys-
tem, bnt because the lands of-
fered now are more definitely
recognized as good oil terri-
tory. Early sales were made be-
fore there had been extensive
geophysical investigations in
the area.

Land Commissioner William
H. McDonald said he believes
better offers come from sealed
bids because a bidder, under
that method, is willing to pay.
At an auction he can get the
lease by bidding just a little
more than someone else. When
the ante gets too high, he can
drop out. To prevent collu-
sion, the university retains the
right to reject a bid, even
though it is the highest offer. •
Sealed bids permit bidders
to offer other advantages than
cash. The amount of royalty
may be increased over the min-
imum one-eighth. Logarithmic
bids are possible, with more to
be paid if the property proves
good and the state permits
large scale production. The
law requires the land office
sales to be made to the highest
bidder. It does not specify that
the top must be computed in
cash bonus alone. Which is
high often becomes a matter
of dispute. A state senate com-
mittee figured at the problem
for many weeks. Land office
leases are principally on school
lands.

A large part of the more
than 2,000,000 acres to be leas-
ed by the University of Texas
has been geologized and map-
ped. There are some consid-
erable area, however, that
have not been explored geo-
physically. The lands are
mainly in West Texas. On part
of the University land is the
world’s deepest oil field. Re-
cently oil production in Gal-
veston Bay has turned the Uni-
versity land board’s attention
to property owned by the uni'
versity in Galveston county.
The property is a 4,000-acre
tract given to the states as an
endowment by Archer M.
Huntington, son of the build-
er of the Southern Pacific rail-
way. It is on the Galveston
Bay short east of Virginia

Autographs of only 34 of
the 58 signers of the Texas
declaration of independence
have been obtained by the
University of Texas library in
an effort to preserve records of
the leaders of the Republic.
Other than their names signed
to the document, signatures
cannot be found.
Miss Winnie Allen, archivist,
is issuing an appeal to Texans
to make early family records
available to the library. If
members of the family do not
want to part with the original,
a loan is sought so it can be
photographed for official pre-
servation. “Unknowingly,
probably, many persons have
in trunks or in attics, or in
family Bibles, materials which
could be of great value,” she
said.
