For a time yesterday it was feared the

Dams surround the foundations being

The heavy rain Of yesterday has trans
formed the usually quiet stream into q

was last week, engaged in preparing fol

This hope was expressed by Arch

before the Roman Catholic Wtman's
League. The archbishop declared that
the security OF the national constitu-
ton increases proportionately with
the increase in the number of Roman
Catholics. He urged the establishment
OF a subsidiary system of the public

Catholics. This system 'for the ben.
