had cost several dollars, the money would net pay
70 90 again throug the experience Of searching for the

In Nsw.York knows anything about. Tho people In
charge say that the s located there because u
to the South Ferry Depot where all roads
centre but it s really several blocks from the depot
and in district infested BY tramps, idle and druukea
men, in such numbers that lady cannot SOC them with
OUT fear of insult The room Is up two lights OF dn0
Cps in dark and dirty buildings and the once SURE
