discussion and long deliberation have ex

manner possible, in black and white, il
favor of Trinidad asphaltum on a cemen
concrete base, and the servants of tn

grant their prayer without delay and witt
great pleasure. To do otherwise, an,
force upon these tax payers a materia
they have not asked for, would be gros
injustice and insult.
