Of their papers to cover the postage.
We do not wish to do this. We will
keep the price Of the TRANscR1rr what

selves. Bot to do this We must ask all
our patrons to pay their subscription
promptly in advance. They do this
without lgrumbling With the city papers

more thrsugh oversight than intentional
