olatsd With d nuIabsr ef the leading mon Of that
corporation, Ia the "Ridley Park" enterprise,
and hsnos some make deduction, that he repre-
ssnts the P. W. 4 B.'s views In this matter. The
Junction Il Breakwater people are dead against

The Joint COMMITTEE on Education has beer

prospect Of soon reaching some definite plan
The most important change. and greatsat I'M
