Equipment issues wero carried to now high levels sinco tho start of the presont recovery. mm PATT EliSONl At lusl ho'mcf 2,115 South Cottage street, Thursday af ternoon, Doc. 27, 1917, at 4 o'clock, Samuel Patterson, aged 73 years. lie" had been ill a year and eight months as a result of a stroke of pa ralysis.
