thirty cents. A chance to cut weeds

Il is expected that these seven roads
will give a total length of 10000 miles
which at a cost Of about $4,000 a mile.
will bring the aggregate cost to nearly
$3.50 100000. 1t is proposed that the

Gently at Norman. but his family has
left that city and no. trace of him
