Mr.. Hackett calls attention to the an

is applied to the building of roads. the

schools. Commander Schroeder calls
attention to the fact that if the SUI
preme court decides that duties may
not be levied upon articles exported
from any state the loss of income to
Guam will be S12, ,762, and he asks an
, allotment from an emergency fund to
meet such possibility. The three
