half of their contract had been almost finished, and their
contractor has even offered to have it open in July next, if

engines ready, they did not choose to incur
expense.
The meeting then separated, having/mined a vote of thanks
to the Chairman.

street, Piccadilly. Optical Instruments to enablepersons ad-
vanced age to read with ease and to discriminate objects with perfect.
