ment to start lending to cities and

applied as to school districts, and
^recommended that in any case the
3R3FG should have the security of a
“middle man” such as banks and in-
-?5urance companies.

The horse race wager amendment
was offered by Rep. Otis Dunagan
of Big Sandy, v/ho estimated it would
produce in excess of $1,500,000 an-
nually. It was adopted 94 to 22.
Charges that sponsors of the tax
were actuated by prejudice against
racing interests were made by op-
ponents of Dunagan’s plan.

University officials believed that
Gilmer, or some member of his fam-

papers inadvertently. Letters were
sent to members of the family tell-
