unless a reduction is made in the esti-

The commission Is fully able to carry out
the plans and is well equipped for the
purpose. The commission will not only
save on each road constructed, but will
also assure better work in the end for
the state. as there will be no clashes be-

which also gives an electric shock to the

much you can lift be sure he does not
lead you to this machine before you ex-

platform with two handles at one end
and a long paddle at the other end. The
victim is placed on the platform and in

was in fine condition. The Philadelphia
