924 barrels, or e,957 under the figure

reach 505,91 At that level, however,
It stu was well below the 545, 900 bar
rel limit set by the State Corporation
Commission.
/ The Texas Panhandle showed the
largest loss, Its output being $4,000 bar
Irels, or $500 less than the precedine
weeks yield. West Texas production
was 276.04S barrels, decrease of 4,s45;
North Central Texas at los, 400 barrels

Improvement and prevent return OF
revenues to normal.
The continuation of the 1929 income
tax rate, the issue of bonds, the tenn
