amount raised in lsi9 is believed to have beer
| little more than 100000, ,000--or less than two
thirds of the sum raised in 1918.
/ Thus the grand total spent, at the end OF lSi0
was about e22O,000000, There are said To hav,
been, at that date about 1000 miles in course o

these works, and dcductmg the sums raised by
