ASIDE from the urgency of our
Norfolk friends, there is no senti-
lnent throughout the State for
Governor Mann to call an extra

would cost the taxpayers one
hundred thousand dollars, and
our treasury is in no condition
to stand this. To do so, would
find schools and roads short of
funds in the near future-and
then who would he found to justi-
~ the call? The primary ques-
