James A. Millholland, superintendent

Mr.. Burwell also spoke clevcrly, though
candidly, of the difficulties in the way.
He said his company had nothing TO

would not be enlarged, because it
would get all the traffic it does now,

of the extension would be very great.

matters on the inside of the paper. thus
giving all advertisers an equal advantage.
