first to move will be a host
t commissions, boards and di-
. which have rented quar-
scattered over Austin.
Later, probably October or No-
vember, another big move will
take the Supreme Court, Court
aC Criminal Appeals, Attorney
,1's Department and the
ne Court Library out of
fee Capitol into the new State
Courts Building . . . third state

year.
It has been the dream for
some time of the Supreme
Court's* elderly Chief Justice
Jdhn E. Hickman to stay on the
idb until the day he could pre-
in the new Courts Build-
Built of granite similar to that
i the Capitol, but with mod-
styling, the new buildings
are to the north of the Capitol, j
Combined cost of the two build-1
ings is some $7,000,000. \
With all the happmes over the
prospects of splendid new quar-
ters, there are some regrets.
Many employees are worrying
about where they'll park their
cars, once all the scattered agen-
cies move into one building
Supreme Court jurists feel a
touch of sadness at leaving be-
hind the historic walnut bench,
inscribed with the Latin phrase,
"As God was to our Forefathers,
so may He be unto us." It h^s
been in use practically since the
memory of man. Replacement
is a handsome marble piece
which the judges compare to a
soda fountain.

Progress ud Property
A tingle of excitement, fear
and hope runs through land-
owners and business people
when they learn that a new
super highway is to come through
their area.
Some residents fret over the
prospects of losing the old home
place. Other dreams of wild
profits. Businessmen worry over
whether the motorists will be
able to get to their places.
As more and more express-
ways pierce the countryside, the
State Highway Department is
making every effort to explain
the procedure for acquiring the
highway right-of-way.
Samples from recent official
Department statements:

bility is to the public—the tax-
payers and millions of highway
users—the Highway Department

"tries to create a minimum of
private injury or inconveni-
ences".
2. When privatee lands are
needed for public rodas. The law
guarantees "adequate compensa-
tion" to the owner. Independ-
ent professional appraisers are
hired, and an "approved value"
figure determined.
3. Once the "approved value"
is settled on, the Deparment
negotiator can't "horse trade"
with the landowner. This might
reward the greedy and tough-
minded at the expense of the
timid or public-spirited person.
But a dissatisfied owner can
have the matter settled in court.
4. When part of a piece of
property is taken and the rest
left or of little value, the state
will make payment for the loss
of value.
5. Owners will be given ample
time to move buildings to an-
other site or find new build-
ings.
6. If an owner with a GI
mortgage has to sell, the Vet-
erans Administration will restore
his GI loan privileges for getting
a new piece of property.
7. An owner who sells prop-
erty for more than he paid for
it will not have to pay income
tax on the profit, providing he
uses the money to buy similar
property within a year.
8. Controlled access highways
cannot have an entrance and
exit for every piece of*property
along the way. Real estate de-
velopers are urged by the D-
partment to contact the local
planning engineer before making
any committments based on ac-
cess to the through lanes of a
controlled access road.
Water* Fight Dae
State Board of Water Engi-
neers has scheduled a hearing
for August 31st on the City of
Houston's controversial bid for
Trinity River water.
Houston seeks permission to
build two reservoirs near the
mouth of the Trinity, one near
Livingston and one near Wallis-
ville, and divert more than a
billion gallons daily.
Trinity River Authority and
a number of upstream cities—
Dallas. Fort Worth, Huntsville,
etc.,—are protesting that Hous-
ton is trying to grab the water
supply from the whole river.

Slow Up for Holiday
With Texas' 1959 traffic deaths
runnin six per cent higher than
last year, Gov. Price Daniel is-
sued an urgent safety plea for
Labor Day motorists.
He called on law enforce-
ment agencies, civic organiza-
tions, safety councils, and "most
important of all, drivers, to aid
in this most important of all
Texas efforts, the saving of hu-
man lives".
Department of Public Safety
reported traffic deaths for the
first half of 1959 at 1,097, com-
pared to 1.032 for the same
period in 1958.
