tain road commission, recently SUBJ
mitted to the governor recommends
strongly that II further road work be
undertaken, 1t be done by a commits
sion. 1t suggests that this commits

to extend the time allowed for compile

In the discussion The alderman re-
ferred to the fact that the franchise
was not exclusive and If the com

mary with politicians to make pub
lie solicitude the excuse for advanc-
ing their claims for office, but in Mr..
