Rankin propose : that each community

Washington, Dec. increases in
commodity freight rates ranging from
80 to SO per cent from Mobile, Pen

The alternative for such voluntary

of an adequate annual return as well

which. improvements during the pc
riod of government operation could be
paid for. by the roads upon return of

IF the other alternative be adopt
