called the nsnsonrY and cement
work was about three;fotrths h;
completed. The L. VA indus-

Interesting, but not true, in, fact
almost as outrageous a lie as that re-
J garding fhe machinery, X
. storage Tanks Prove Lde.
! In the first place let the reader
1 look ,at the picture of the plant as
sleft by the Nonpartisan League. The
ionly sign Of the 80 giant grain tanks
is some. excavation at the left Of the
picture. Then look at the picture Of:
the structure 1t znowHtis.;s The tanks
are. completed and make up a very
/ large portion of the entire estab1ish-..
ment. Al part of one can even be
seen in the fake picture printed In
the CourierrN News. Even, the most
ardent Nonparti3an. Lacquer must ad-
NIT that The tanks are1there.
"The records OF the Fegles
Construction Go. general con-
j tractors for the plant, who by
I the way, were given said con-
tract BY the N~onpartisan League
commission, show. that these
tanks are built, Of ls.727 cubic,
f yards Of .~concrete. OF this, only
2.7e6 cubic yards, representing
the bases5pnly. were poured DUR
tration- was In charge Of the
work. sTfie other 1881 cubie.
yards have been poured since the
work was renewed last spring by
the Nestos administration.
But still tho :Courier.New says l.
that ""ansfthc Independent admin
istrationash has accomplished is to
partially complete thes unfinish-
ed brick work."
Some More Figures.
To go "a little further Into concrete
lpouring figures. asishowip by the Fee
Igles Construction Co. records, we find
that there$is a totAl%of 2a;260 cubic
yards of concrete in the plant. OF
this, 1898 yards was poured: during
1.-The league administration and 1892
yards since the independents took
Echarge, nearly a $3.50 proposition.
But the Courier-News says that
I%when the, Nonpartisan League In
tdustrtal commission was recalled the
masonry and cement work was about
tthree-fourths completed.
Speaking d. Brick Work.
"A BY masonry the Courier-News sup
posedly means brick work, since
strictly speaking there is prac-
plant. Thts makes the yarn
about III being three-fourths com
pleted even more of a b~are-faced lie
Here To- what the construction com.
pany's figures ahow: Under the Non.
partisan.L League administration there
were lsb. 900 bricks laid. Since work
was resumed under the Npstosl ad.
