It IS understood that Mr. Wallace has
handled the subjects exhsustlveIy and
that his conclusions bear out the opti-
mistic statements circulated IN financial
circles that the physical condition OF
the Seabcard compares favOrably with
the best systems in the territory il
serves. and that the improvements re-
quired can be made at comparatively
little expenditure II is said that Mr.
Wallace was especially impressed with
