of 10 years after which the commission
prcScribes a reyaluation.
The commission however. removed

A letter outlining the notifications
made In the agreement has been draft
ed and will be sent TO the transit COM

notifications at a protracted confer
ence they had today with the commits
sion.
Among the other important changes
which the commission recommended be
made IN the agreement were
That the commission be relieved Of

| paving costs between their tracks
That the companies continue to share

vised agreement which would limit the
powers of the commission.

BALDONNEL AIR DROME. Dublin,
March 29.-~The Junkers monoplane

and its wheels blocked by empty gaso-
line cans, rocked in an Irish gale to-

Weather conditions here were almost

such conditions with even verse pros

fight was then postponed until to-

A steam roller numbered up and down
the long stretch OF ground beyond the
wooden runway ironing out the soggy
ground so the five-ton burden would not
sink into the turf at the start OF its
venture.
The flyers had breakfast at 4 with the
German consul general and other mem
