We must have easy transportation

We must maintain our system OF free

Last year the State faced a deficit
of nearly $1,000, 900. The problem of
%liquidating the deficit was solved by
economy, by saving $500, 900 in the APP

the representatives in the Assembly and

to spend the money unless it was in
