about three days In San Francisco, ono
or two days inl Sacramento and
about one DAY each in Los Angeles and
San Diego. This program will probably
be varied from, but not to any con.
siderable extent.
Ono OF the subject OF the trip Is to
investigate the iireproofing OF public

nearly unanimous in the opinion that
II they take the trip Intended, and
