Humble To Spond 18
Million On Now Pipe
Lino Erom W. Toxot
An $18 million dollar pipe line
from Went Texas to the Gulf
Coaat will be started by Humble
Pipe Line Company toward the
end of 1949 and completed around
the middle of 1960. The new line
will be of 18-inch pipe, extending
375 milei in a direct route from
Kemper in Reagan county to Sat-
xuma, 20 miles north of Houston,
where it will connect with Hum-
ble’s existing lines to Baytown. It
is being built to provide a more
economical transportation system
for Humble from West Texas
Upon completion of the new line,
Humble plans to take up a part of
its old system from West Texas to
Baytown by way of West Central
Texas which has a capacity of
50,000 barrels per dsy. No changes
are contemplated in Humble's oth-
er line from West Texas with a
capacity of 70,600 barrels, per
day to Corpus Christi.
The new line will have an initial
capacity of 95,000 barrels per day
w-ith one intermediate station be-
tween Kemper and Satsuma. The
rapacity can be increased to 120,-
000 barrels per day by the addi-
tion of a second intermediate sta-
tion, ,
The direct route to be followed
by the new line from Kemper to
Satsuma will pass through sixteen
counties: Reagan, Crockett, Schlei-
cher, Menard, Kimble, Gillespie,
Mason. Blanco, Hayes, Travis, Baa
trop, Lee, Fayette, Austin, Waller,
and Harris. Kemper is a central
point■ f n Humble's extensive pipe
lin, system servinx West Texas
and New Mexico.

August Is Most
Dangerous Month v
For Motorists
Pointing out that August of
1948 was the most dangerous of
the year for motorists, Colonel
Homer Garrison, Jr., director of
the Texas Department of Public
Safety, appealed today to all driv-
ers to exercise extreme caution in
their driving this month. .During
August of 1948, 212 persons lost
their lives in Texas traffic acci-
dents surpassing the month of De-
cember for the first time. Decem-
ber, Colonel Garrison stated, was
normally the month of most traf-
fic fatalitiea
Contribu’ing factors toward
August’s high death rate, accord-
ing to Garrison, is the fact that
this month is a period of many
yacation trips during which nu
merous people travel unfamiliar
roads and devote too much at’en-
tion to the - scenery rather than
‘their driving; too, August heat re-
sults in fatigue and induces drowsi-
ness thus making this month the
highest in vehicle with vehicle
accidents.
The Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety has set as Its goxl less
than 1949 traffic deaths in 1949.
If not more than 162 persons are
killed this month it will mean a
saving in human lives of 50 over
the same period last year and
this .alone, would effect a 2'
reduction for the entire year.

What every
party-line telephone user
knows;.'.-
' ,'i .
Every person with a party-line
telephone at home knows at least
three things about the service.
He know* the line must be shared
fairly to be useful to everyone-1—
just as a street ie shared by those
on it
He knows he appreciates courtesy
from others on the line—such as
not interrupting, and recognizing
his emergency need* for the line
now and then.
He knows whether party-line serv-
ice meets his needs. About half
our customers have always pre-
ferred party-line service, even be-
fore the war, when they could have
had individual lines.
Today, out of each four families
with telephones, about three have
party-line telephones and one of
them has asked for a different type
of service. T .....
■—— 7
We’d like to be able to give it
to them. We are working toward
that, and are making some prog-
ress despite the continuing heavy
demand for telephones from those
still without an^ service.
We have on file thousands of
requests for some other type of
service. Wherever local conditions
permit, we are meeting these re-
quests, and are keeping a careful
record of all requests, to act on at
the first opportunity.
