that a little supper. If consisting only of

tracts for bridge building in that section
An appearance OF competition is made by
are purposely and knowingly higher
than the favored company, which are
still high enough to afford big profit
BY thus dividing the field, practically
each competing company gets good

to keep up the cost OF bridge buildips
and to fleece the people,
