ana Supreme Court II now develops
that the appellants have sixty DAYS IN

ty days OF until the appellants sign a
waiver for rehearing.
II no action Is taken by the appel
lants. action on the bonds will be delay
ed until June 1. Taking into consid =
Grafton other delays many counties
Will be too late in obtaining contracts
and selling the bonds to set the con-
struction wcrl1 under way this year.
The aggregate OF the county unit
bond petitions now on file with the tax
commission is in excess Of 100000
Many counties are preparing to file pc
titions fer additional construction IN

In response to what ! believe to

earnestly suggest that the congress

was made to several Of the allied gov

also suggest that it would be very
desirable to provide in the legislation
itself that the expenditure Of the
money thus loaned should be under
the supervision Of a commission, or
at least commissioner from the
