an objection as it would be LATER oh
and besides by extending the excur-

would be a larger number Of tickets
sold and a correspondingly larger

to Lake Charles, say, as some wish.
The trip could be made within such
hours as to give a good length Of

number of excursionists from our

would be numbers from the towns
passed through sufficient to make up
for whatever the cost of the excur.
sion by rail would be over one by
