Mr., Chairman | agree with the HOnOra

when he says that you cannot compel the

The longer this matter is drawn out here

Ord Member for Christiansted Town
(Fu6iO): Mr.. Chairman, | want to say
that | think the Government has done its
part and it is now up to the Council to do
its part. We are trying to appropriate
this mouey to pay for the material that
is expected here soon to be sold to pro-
perty owners whose properties have been
damaged by the hurricane and believe
that the bill should be drafted in such a
way that the Governor will sanction it.
We are the ones who should try in some
way or the other to fix this bill in such a
way that after it is passed it would not
be necessary for the Governor to refer it,
back to as. | quite agree that as the bill
stands it seems that the small owners Of
properties are not going to be dealt with
as squarely as the large property owners.

YALEHARYARD CLASH 10
 SHOW LARGE ATTENDANCE
Officials Expect Greatest Number of People Who Havo Ever
 Seen That Game

New Haven, Nov. 22 .P1Pros- poets for the Harvard football game in the Bowl Saturday are that the attendance will be the largest at any of these games between the two universities.
 The record figure being made pos- sible by changes in the seating ca pacity the past summer. The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad operating management has made a tabulation of passenger traf- fic handled for the game in recent years.
 The road has planned to handle over 55.000 persons on Saturday. The greatest number it carried to ! game here was in 191l when it had 66.795. Two years later 1t fell onf to 66,202. There was an interval due to the war and in 1920 the traiA traffic dropped to 56,475. In 1929 they rose to 56.97S, in l9c4 it drop ped to 50.l34 and in 1926 it was 5O,3S7. In recent years it had been pointed out from time to time, the part automobiles played in carrying the football crowd was evident in the decreased figures. However. the company's operating management looks to increased use of trains and the number of persons who came here by that medium for the Yale Army game was indicative of that. The gain over the same game last year was noticeable.
