lamD and pork and more than
2,5OO,OOO pounds of fish, poultry and
game.

on that date the houses also contained
nearly half a million pounds of eggs
not in shells and more than 5000
packages of eggs not in shells, the
packages not being of definite guam
titles.

property of men who rent the space
from the warehouse. Foust is unable
to give comparison with figures a.
