II streets occupies a strip III" feet
long by $50 feet. and that either the 10

Mr. Bowen quoted from an act Of
Congress. passed in 1925. giving the
company use for all time of the thirty
foot strip of land now occupied by its
tracks He contended that this law is
in the nature of a contract and that it
would be unfair to require the COM

dedicated the thirtyfoot strip for high
way purposes. To remove the track s..

for thawing purposes weighed from three hundred to four hundred ponnds Mr. Uhls plan contemplates the construction of boiler capable of this test which will weigh not to exceed 100 pounds. And this he IS able to accomplish by the aid of his acetylene welding appliance, The joints of the various tubes will be welded instead of being fitted as for merly, thus doing away with the nc cessity for heavy castings which have to be tapped for the tube fittings.
 He expects to have the boiler in running order within a short time and there is likely to be a keen demand for them if it turns out to be practica- ble, as seems assured.
