age their return to their properties
there. Secretary Lane issued a state
ment. saying:
'The data presented by the Mexi-
can commissioners indicates that the
government roads now are being
operated with P large degree of regu
larty and that the roads operated by
private companies are being turned
over to these companies, the only ex-
ceptions being line in the federal
district, one in the state of I..lalgc
