Austin, Texas.—The State Highway
Commission has recommended to the
Board of Control that the bid of the
S. G. Adams Stamp Company of St.
Louis, Mo., be accepted to supply
600,000 automobile plates for next
year, when all cars will be renum-
bered in this State. The plates are
26 metal gauge and will, cost 10.38c
per pair the commission having de-
cided to buy the plates in pairs in-
stead of having single numbers on
cars, as was once proposed in the
interest of economy.
The sum of $25,000 was appropri-
ated by the Legislature to buy num-
ber plates and $20,000 to purchase
new seals, or a total of $45,000. The
Attorney General has ruled that the
$20,000 can not be used in purchas-
ing number plates, and that amount
will lapse. Since the new number
plates will cost $65,000, the gross de-
ficiency to be asked will be $45,000,
though the net amount will be $20,-
000, as that amount for seals will
not be used.
Inasmuch as new numbers will be
had next year, there will be no need
of seals until 1924. The Legislature
called for new numbers and provid-
ed only $25,000. That is the amount
which is usually required to take
care of the average increase, the
Legislature failing to provide money
for the new numbering. The 600,-
000 plates will weigh 300 tons, and

However, there would be no senior-

the Texas Railroad Commission pre- l
paratory to re-organize, as is also
planned by the I. & G. N. and the
termination of receiverships. The !
Katy has been operated by a re-
ceiver for seven years.
The Railroad Commission heard
arguments in support of a new valua-
tion for the Katy and especially that
a different method be used. Present
day methods of Obe commission is to
take the original valuation of 1894
or 1895 and add all additions and
betterments since that time, rather
than to make a new appraisement of
present-day prices. That method
would make the Katy fall about $8,-
388,945 under its outstanding securi-
ties.
C. C. Huff, counsel for the Katy,
asked the commission to abandon
that policy and use as a basis the
securties allowed the Texas Katy
lines under the act of April 16, 1891,
amounting to $33,602,500. The com-
mission’s valuation of owned and
leased Katy lines on Dec. 31, 1920.
was $43,066,700.
It was contended that under the
act of 1891 a compromise was made
with Texas whereby the Texas Katy
lines, to assume their pro rata part
of the parent line’s indebtedness,
were allowed to issue stocks and
securities to the amount of $10,000
, a mile.
To that would be, added the addi
tions and betterments which would
bring the total up to $50,979,889
without the leased lines. When all
owned and leased lines are included
the total would be approximately,
$60,000,000 on this basis.
It is set out in the petition that
at this time the receiver is construct-
ing terminals at Denison to cost ap-
proximately $3,000,000, and that they
must be taken care of in the new is-
sues.
The new system is to be known as
