animation had not been completed, in his

coed the amount already named.

scented in the shortage found in the OK

progress, the amount of funds expend-
ed and the outlook for the work, just
as railroads report to their stockhold-
ers. These reports will be filed regu-

and frequently informed as to what is
being done with their funds in Pana-

have undertaken the task for the
American people, we recognize the
great responsibility resting on us. and
we are going out to make good in a
way that will please not only President

US, but will also bring us the approval
of all the people of the nation-the
