plication. According to the law every
owner must know the exact size of the
bore of the cylinders on his ear. Mr..

able to decide. They insist that they
will not contract for more than 230
tungstens and the cleo,
tric light company awaits their final
decision. At present there are 30 arc
and IT'S incandescent lamps. Manager
