Four City Commissioners were
confident this morning that Denton
will have sufficient electrical
power next summer but were di
vided on the question of using out-
side power in case the city runs
short of electricity. A fifth mem
ber had no comment.
Fined $200
Everet Leslie White, 36, of Okla-
homa City pleaded guilty to a
charge of transporting intoxicating
beverages in a dry area and was
fined $200 and coats in Judge Jack
Gray’s county court this morning.
White, arrested last night with
some 40 cases of liquor valued at
$2,500 in his possession, also plead-
ed guilty to a charge of speeding
in justice court this morning and
was fined $10 and costs by Justice
of the Pesce Z. D. Lewis.

Acreage Slips
Notices of cotton acreage allot-
ments for individual farms in Den-
ton County are no- - in the mail, it
was announced today by Shirley
Taylor, secretary of the Denton
County Office of the Production
and Marketing Administration.
The individual allotments were
rushed to cotton producers in or-
der that they might study their
acreage quotas before voting in the
nation-wide referendum, to be held
Dec. 15.
Denton County was allotted ap-
proximately 23,800 acres for 1954
plantings, under the present allot-
ment setup. However, many agri-
cultural officials hsve been quoted
as saying that Congress in January
probably will recommend a revi-
sion of the allotment schedule, in
order to boost the Texas acreage.
If this occurs, Denton County prob-
ably will be in line for increased
acreage, Taylor said.
All notices of peanut acreage
allotments for 1954 also have been
mailed to Denton County producers,
the PMA officer reported.
Applications of mw growers for
acreage allotments will be ac-
cepted by the PMA office until
