therefore turned this material over
to MIR. Miller, he agreeing to take
them at invoice price, assuming all
bills and agreeing to furnish this
material in the future at Il nominal
profit to whoever may pipe houses
and tap the MAINS. A good many

with individuals to pipe their pre-.

changed all Of this arrangement,
by adopting price for tapping
