permitted . Cali attention 70 t1em. a.
The very SEsssf Re states that he has al
ready heard from over go townships. as
i that were conclusive. In fac. there are
more nearly $50 townships n the state,
ard you can form y0ur oRn estimate as
% what figure MS 80 would cut His state
ment IN the same connection that the Re
DU54scsns are disappearing is absurd. and
