TYLER, Tex., March 1.—A new
boom was in prospect today in
the East Texas oil field—a boom
that would . center around the
courthouse instead of the oil wells
that brought riches to many when
they fitst gushed forth oil more
than a year ago.
A second restraining order pho-
aiblting state oficers from enforc-
ing proration of oil by martial law
was expected to give greater Im-
petus to* a "litisation boom” which
tarted when Eugene Constantin
and J. D. Wrather won the first
injunction against martial law.
Federal Judge Randolph Bryant
late Monday issued the second re-
straining order againt Gov. Ross
Sterling, Adjt. Gen. W. W. Ster-
ling and Brig. Gen. Jack F Wol-
ters, enjotning them from inter-
fering with their military forces-

Citing increased demands upon

He deplored the large number
of tax evaders, and paid tribute to
City Council for its “conservative

"The .1932 budget was esti-

he explained. "Every cent in the

$15,745. And 77.82 per cent of
funds available is derived from

In answer to charges that tax-
