DEAR SIR:-Work has already
been authorized at Langdon, and load
ing platform to be erected is in con-
Torrance with the law as enacted by
your legislature last winter which was
considered unreasonable, but after
careful consideration we decided to
carry out the wishes of the Board in
the matter and SO advised you, although
our attorney is strongly of the opinion
that the law is not constitutional.
Yours Truly,
A. T.. MoHLER.
