proposed bill under which it is con.
tcmplated that the Orient railroad
would be operated by the state of Tex
as, was rc-drafted at a conference TO-
day between former Lieutenant Cover.
nor Lynch Davidson, Senator Sheppard

Commissioner Meyer of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. 1t is probable
that this bill, if acceptable 20 other
members of the commission, will be in
PRODUCED in both the House and Sen
ate. although it is frankly admitted
there are grave doubts as to whether
it can be passed before March 4.
Under the terms of the revised meas
urc no attempt is made to waive all
present legal restrictions. but instead
power is conferred on the Interstate
Commerce Commission and other boards
and bureaus TO grant such exemptions
as may be deemed necessary for the
successful operation of the road. This
makes these measures subject to the
discretion of existing authorities.
1t is further proposed that repayment
of the governments loan of $780,
900 to the railroad, will be deferred
twenty years without interest to any
purchaser of this road at n receivers
sale. who can guarantee effective and
continued operation for a period of ten
years,
