this land are asking prices that are
held by the service to be excessive
and it is probable that condemnation

quire them. Lafferty Is assured,
however, that the WORK will be press
ed as rapidly as possible,
Lafferty also inquired as to the pos
slbuitv that the government would

is found is fairly feasible, but its mgr
cost makes its construction at TINS
