points lower. Msy ruled between 8.40c and

ceedingly high prices for all materials

for our railroad project, everything
has been changed by the war since 1
agreed to this construction, but in
view of the great importance of the
larger project I have felt that a su
preme effort must be made to get this
first unit into operation."
