sary to give up the Porto Rico work
which he inaugurated and which he
has advanced well on the way to COM

Mr. Hall was engaged in lucrative
private engineering practice when he
was called more than six years ago
to straighten out the Rio Grande t6ngle
and pan this greatest irrigation pro-
ject in the world. After his work here
had been completed approved and
made the basis of the final settlement,
Mr.. Hall resigned from government ser
vice and returned to private practice.

Hall was selected as the ideal man for
the place. and he was again drawn

THE TIME HAS COME FOR
THEM TO TOE THE LINE

, The punishment of corporations
guilty of frauds by fines has not
been of much service in checking
their illegal acts.
In general the fines have been
so small as to be ridiculous in
comparison to results obtained in
the laws violation, so that a SEN
timent has grown that the only
sure way to put a stop to their
wrongful acts is to criminally
prosecute their directors or those
responsible for wrong-doing. With
this end in view bill has been
introduced in the Massachusetts
