asters in financial circles of series nature.

until Milwaukeeans are probably familiar
with the general features Of the project
1t was found exceedingly difficult t, dis

course seemed open to them, to save loss
to all, and at the same time maintain fair
dealing with those who had already Dur
chased tickets, and that was to reduce the
