] wettmg down and improving Figueroa
I street for the use of the public on Fair

the valves. These machines are too ex-
pensive to be used for such a purpose,

!. and other outhouses securely locked
IS The prospective visitors arc said to be
o tough lot and will not hesitate to pacl
II anything portable they may see.
