brooks and COWS and things as Phyllis
had said in the beginning.

and fasten it behind her saddle, for out

sun beat down unrelentingly. Phyllis

then. We'll meet no one" she said,

who took the Merrimac into Santiago
harbor was always proud to be known
as a mother boy" Both of these Of

There boxes viii be placed at the same
relative distances from each other as
those on the T Street line.
The company will submit plans for the
vaults and drains TO the Commissioners
for approval before the work is COM

ny desires to place not more eighteen
boxes ard these will be put between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Streets north

the request for the permit to place the
boxes, and approve the change OF system.
The underground electric system has
proven itself so far superior to the cable
that the Commissioners are naturally de-
lighted at the prospect of having such an
irrip-ag.r,.nf made When the work has
been completed the last vestige of the old
cable system in Washington will have
