Following the discovery that several

Secretary Dwight n. Lewis is writing
to each of the 15S lawmakers to ask
IL they really want the maps. Until
the latest edition of $4,000 came from
the publishers the commission was
focded with requests for maps from
business houses, hotels and travelling
men. but was unable to fill the supply
because it is said members of the leg
