Denton and Temple win state support for black land experiment stations with bonuses of 5000 each. Denton executives J N Rayzor and W M Ganzer led a push aided by H B Dorsey and Dr Harrington, after a state trip that secured funding and a favorable compromise.
During a meeting Denton and Temple submit offers for a station. Judge Kane and Mr Ray zor push Denton to pay 7500 and Temple 5000. The board accepts both offers but the Denton committee objects to unequal treatment claiming unfair discrimination.
Denton proposed paying 7500 for a station while Temple had received 5000. Mr Rayzor pressed for a decision, messages urged approval, and the telegram from home stated that paying 7500 was necessary and Temple should get a station too, boosting board morale.
H. B. Dorsey addressed the board on behalf of Texas grain interests, praising Temple and Denton but arguing the wheat belt deserved recognition. He claimed the Denton region stood as the sole wheat belt town before the board, and his association backed Denton. The speech made a notable impression on the board.
The locating board weighed two pledges to Tem ple against a Denton offer of 2500 dollars plus other advantages. With a higher bid on the table, the board faced a difficult choice and saw no simple path forward.
The first year’s appropriation stands near 3500 dollars with about 4000 dollars in the second year. Long term funding rests on legislative generosity, but united county support in Bee, Smith, Nacogdoches, Lubbock, Dickens, Pecos, Tarrant, Bell and Denton makes relocation unlikely.
Denton celebrates a successful bid that proves what the town can achieve together. The Chamber of Commerce led the six month effort, raising offers from 3500 to 5000 dollars and securing Dr Harrington and Judge Kane visits that swayed opinion in favor of locating the project in Denton.
The board announced only Denton and Temple remained in the race and the Chamber secured support from other North Texas counties. Denton County towns answered the call with broad aid, continuing onto Page 3.
