the company that II would be taking

before the inventory and appraisal
are finished and in shape for the ex-
aiming experts.
Leo Nj. Butzel, the telephone com.

missing the petition. except for few
hundred dollars that the company
would again have to spend for news

under competent chief, getting the
inventory and appraisal figures into

made against the company" said Mr..
Butzel. Even Mr.. Zahm, the city's
expert, Is not through going over the
