CHIEF Engineer Darlington of the

Ger Hogeland came ON scheduled time

the estimate furnished by Engineer
Darling for replacing the Northern

far too high, and that in his opinion
s22O,O00,000 will reconstruct the
present system. Gillette said Chief
Engineer Rogeland of the Great Nor

brother engineer and that Mr. Hoge-
lands figures for replacing the sys-
TEN, which total about S238. 900. 900,
should reach $244,000,000 The ex-
