more than ever that the plan to put
the state behind big real estate
deal will fail to go through. The sen
ate and house committees on can't
location are striving hard to whip .
bill into shape upon which all may
compromise and it is possible a oil
OF some kind will be sent TO third
reading this evening or Friday.
