Corporation Counsel saws was baked by the

that he wrote protest 70 the Governor on De-
cember 9, which was published In the papers
December 10. and that December l3 the Land
Board made the grant. thereby anticipating and
defeating his lawsuit.
Now. see how a plain tale will put him down.

days before Mr.. Whalen wrote his letter The Cor
