ginning, the statement did not come

ions required by the Act; bat was
published as a financial statement
under ordinary laws. and will be
charged for at the usual ADVERT 5
ing rates for such publication. and
not under the provisions of Act No

ment did not carry at it's head the
amount or cost Of the publication,
as provided by the last Legislature.
