In our oplnian

Ho.

As we uaderctmd the fasts non invvlvad,

ths bombsr plant is looatad a fsm miles outsidethe limits of the City of Fort Worth, the plaat itselfnot being looatad rithin the limits of any inoorporatsd oity smd in going fzvm F&t Worth to tha bcanbez plamt, ona does not go through

The operation oonduoted uadsr authority

of the RailroadCoawisslon is that of 8 opeoial sonmodity carrier

umdsr a petit gramtedpursuant ts Sootlon 6(d) of Art1010 9llb, V.C.S. The proposed opsration

from Fort Worth totie bc&sr paint would not be an extsm&ion of that operaticme It would be 8 nsw and dlffaramtserviw, havingno rolatlomtotho protiouooperaticll. The ppodoto be hauled f=mFvrt Worth to this Bomb& plant ars sot broughtto Fort North by ths 0. L Uarehouse Co., nor is there a9y possibilltg that suoh nil1 bs done, sinoe it is not authoriaed to haul suoh goods under Its permit* **The** same **is** true BE to goods**JJIOP~~** from the plant tothe oily. Hence, tho one operation may not swell or feed the other. An independent operation

ma 5 b-s condusted

betweenthe bomber plant andthe city, under the terms of Seotion (g of Artiole 911b, without a permit or oertiflaate. Ue think this appliesto the 0. I[. WarehouseCo., Ino., and therafore
