questions. Mr.. rorman asks the gov

Why did you place the price of

Mr.. Forman cites instances in which

thousands of doll; RS to run the state
institutions. paying as high as per

up?"
The letter declares that the governor

the war is considered at an end. Ce-
Gil Rhodes inspired the confidence of
