viding for bridge extending from
Laurel street across Belle Isle and
connecting with Cowardin avenue OF
the SouthSide. He stated that the

much higher. No provision was
made in his estimate for ornamental

 Washington, November ls--An oil pro- auction sufficient to supply the world for several generations at least was forecast today at the annual meeting here of the American Petroleum institute.
 Henry L, Doherty, New York; Thomas |O'Donnell, Los Angeles, president of the institute, and R. D. Benson, president of the Tide Water Oil company, declared that the petroleum resources of the world were nowhere near exhaustion.
 MT. O'Donnell, however attacked the navy department for its seizure of oil stocks on the Pacific coast. Producers there, he said, feel, that the navy de- partment has not been fair and added, We believe this to be due to the ex- treme prejudice of the head of the de- partment."
