vigorous denunciation of the Fergu-
son administration action in the Ar-
eher County Road bond case and a
scathing personal rebuke to James
H. Ferguson was issued here today
by J. A. Kemp, prominent capitalist
and chairman of the state wide com-
mittee on validation of Texas road
bonds, who charged that Ferguson's
“only concern is the furthering of
his political fortune." In a lengthy
report of the committee efforts to
secure validation of bonds held in-
valid by the United States supreme
court decision in the Archer county
case, Mr. Kemp went into detail on
his work. He traced the organization
of the committee, starting with the
first state wide meeting in Fort
Worth on April 16 and ringing it
on down through the meeting of
senators at Waco and the conferen-
ces at Chicago where, with leadingN
bond attorneys of the nation, he

READY TO START
HOTEL ADDITION
WORK ON TWELVE-STORY ADDI-
TION TO AMARILLO HOTEL
BEGINS MONDAY
Work will start tomorrow on the
story addition to the Amarillo hotel.
The contract was awarded to Fred
Bone early this spring, and work was
scheduled to start April 1, but it was
learned that the boilers in the present
building had te be removed to make way
for the foundation and new heating
plant, and it was not possible to start
the work until this late in the spring,
without running a chance of causing
the hotel guests discomfort by having
no heat available. W. H. Hayman has
been awarded the heating and plumbing
contract..
The contract calls for the work to be |
completed by December 25, this year.
The new addition will have 160 roms,
each with a bath. This will give the Am.
arillo hotel a total of 360 rooms.
