drive for enactment of the
Hale-Aikin program for school
improvement.
In 1958-59, says the report,
Texas spent 29.67 cents of
each tax dollar for public
school education. In the last
completed school year the
percentage was 27.68 cents of
each dollar.
During that period public
school spending more than
doubled — from $156,000,000
to $322,000,000 — to keep pace
with a 51 per cent increase in
students and 49 per cent in-
crease in teachers. But spend-
ing for other purposes increas-
ed faster.
Gov. Price Daniel again has
said that he would like to call
a special session after the
elections to erase the déficit
and raise teachers' pay. But
he also said it would depend
on getting agreement from
legislators.
Profit Predicted
When everything is finally
cleared up, the state will come
out with a profit of $50,000—
perhaps more—on land involv-
ed in the Veterans Land Board
scandals.
This prediction was made by
Land Commissioner Bill All-
corn who called $50.000 a "con-
servative figure."
He said that $'1,725,000 has
already been recovered from
fraudulent land deals and
that $1,679,000 more is out-
standing but fully secured.
When the entire $3,404,000
is recovered, said Allcorn, the
state will have a comfortable
margin above what was in-
volved in the original trans-
actions.
Costly Error
Texas Supreme Court has
returned to district court for
re-trial a case involving a
$100,000 mistake in arithme-
tic.
An employe of an Arlington
contractor made the error in
submitting a bid of $534,175
instead of $634,226 to the local
school board for a school
building job. After the bid
was accepted bv the board,
the contractor discovered the
error and refused to carry out
the contract.
Board then awarded the bid
to the second low bidder and
sued the first contractor for
the $36.278 difference between
the second low bid and the
bid they had first accepted.
Supreme Court members
disagreed on the case, wrote
three different opinions, bul
all agreed it should be re-
tried.

in sidewalks to the new state
buildings.
Reason for the precaution is
that the Legislature passed a
bill in 1957 stating that noth-
ing — absolutely nothing —
could be built on the Capitol
grounds without specific per-
mission from the Legislature.
And the Legislature did not
provide for sidewalks.
Who Owns the Oil?
Another question under con-
sideration by the attorney
general's department is "who
owns rights to the minerals
under county roads."
Request for an opinion was
submitted by Jack Cook, coun-
ty attorney of Kleberg County.
Ultimately to be decided is
whether state and local gov-
ernment can claim the right
to mineral development of the
rlerht of way of some 228,000
miles of streets and highways
in Texas.
