creased $1,062,918.23 in 1931,
with capital additions totaling
only $101,294.55, according to its
annual report to the city, will be
made by A. B. Vickery, supervisor

sistant treasurer, who signed the
report, when asked to explain it
in detail. _
Made in Dallas.
He added that it was worked
out by the Lone Star offices at
Dallas.
Vickery’s study of the report
will begin March 14 when he re-
turns from a two weeks’ vacation.
The analysis, to be submitted
City Council, will show whether
the company’s net ■ return for
