ments made for non-Federal prof.

loan been passed.
The allotment was made on
assurances of State officials that
any legal obstacles would c.e re-
moved before actual transfer of
the money.
The State proposes tc receive
10 per cent of labor AID con-
Struction costs as an outright
grant. the remainder as a loan
to be secured by State obligation
bonds based on an ALLEGATION of
Q portion of automobile license
fees and bridge tolls.

is still necessary to maintain a
bureau to handle illegible and

One of the most common errors
made by persons mailing letters,
according to Mr.. Gilbert, is in hur
riedly abbreviated names of
States. Those most commonly in
volved are Maryland and Mis-
souri,, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, the Carolinas and Dakotas.
Thousands of letters are misdi-
rected in this manner daily, he
said.
Illiteracy causes the inquiry di-
vision a great deal of trouble, one
of the best examples being a let

Coolidge only a few weeks ago.
With no city or State address,
the letter carried the lone direc-
