that we can prove by every other COM
paDy that yours is the worst, and by you
that every one is the worst"

others representing the Dixon were not

When the addition of the words ''or some
other system acceptable to the Commission
SIS was made il was too late to get their

The Smith representatives were also at
the Commissioners office, but claimed they
had nothing new to present.

when his attention was called to the
Jones Injunction suit, merely replied that
his company gave bonds against all in

He added that the alleged suit was un-
worthy of notice, as the claimant had no
foundation whatever for any allegation
he had ever made, and he knew of nothing
new he could introduce.
