an account OF a condition above the

4 People of Texas
By ). RAYMoNp BROOKS

AUSTIN, Feb. I3.-The Texas sem

me biggest issue, in terms Of dol
tars q cents, in all the history Of
1exss, when 10 takes action toward
mapping q public policy on the pro-
posed SITS, 000, 900 statewide highway
bond Issue.
The senate will act on Senator
walter Woodul's proposal to sub
NIT the highway bond issue 10 the
voters OF the state.
The road bond plan, before the
mouse on an adverse committee re-
port will await action in the lower
branch of the legislature until the
senate has disclosed its attitude on
the plan.
A test vote has indicated q senate
majority favorable to submission Of
the bond program.
Proposal Modified
The road bond proposal has been
twice modified since IL was first
made by Chairman X. s. Sterling Of
the highway commission. Gov. Dan
Moody's advisory highway committee
OF 31 trimmed the bond total from
$350,000,000 to $225, o 5000; then a
subcommittee 81 the advisory group
again reduced the total TO 0,OO0.-
= for highway construction and
$I5,0OO,O 900 TO repay counties for
money spent in building the present
state system Of highways. The coun-
ties would use the refunded money
with which 10 construct their lateral
roads.
The bill in this form Is now be-
fcre b house and senate.
Sen John w. Hornsby Of Travis
county, chairman Of the committee
on constitutional amendments which
reported out the bill which will be
considered by the senate Friday, Is

governor and former chairman Of
Gov. Dan Moody's state harmony
democrat" campaign organization, is
making the most vigorous fight on
the bond plan so far disclosed out
side the legislature. He has brought
extensive tables of statistics and
figures here 10 present in his con-
test against the adoption Of the
bond plan.
BY virtue Of the new state policy
IL involves, and the immense sum OF
money IL calls for. the highway bond
issue has been regarded as the major
item before this session Of the leg
islature.

Plan DRY ice
VALLEY PLANT
Propose Factory To
Supply Refrigerant

Erection Of a dry ice plant. with
a capacity or 80 tons daily, to cost
approximately $1SO.oCO. Is proposed
by Charles Mathews OF San Antonio,
representative OF the Dry Ice Cor
poration OF America. who arrived in
the Valley last week to interest
Valley people in the project.
Dry ice, which Is carbon dioxide

sure, II being usei extensi ely for
domestic and car refrigeration in
the east and north. The company
now has plants in New York, Eliza
BEETHOVEN. N. j., and Chicago, and
has ~ under construction in other
major cities.
The substance has n temperature
Of $50 degrees below zero. Fahren-
heit, and will last ten TO fifteen
times D. long as natural or artifi-
cial ice, Mathews said. The cost is
approximately 10 cents per pound,
but recent improvements In manufac-
ture are expected 10 reduce this.
The gas. which H. secured from
combustion Of coke. Is first liqui-
fled. and then solidified under pres
sure.
Utilization Of dry ice for car re-
frigeratsOn is increasing rapidly in
the east. where practically all fish
ard meats are now shipped under
this form Of refrigeration. Mathews
said. Standard refrigerator cars are
used, but q get the best results the
cars are piped 70 carry the refrig-
Grating vapors from the dry ice 70
all parts OF the car. Over 800 cars
have been equipped in this manner,
he said.
