E era tic floor leader In the senate, that
I t give to your legislative committee
pan expresaion of n>-> opinion w ith
7 regard to the wisest and most pa-
B trlotic policy to tie pursued towards

' How* pending in the > -mgres*
I regard the Immediate passage of
” the MU a* of vital consequence to
v the safety and defense of the nation
Time la of the essence; and vet t
; ha* become evident that heated and
protracted debate will delay the pas
sage of the hill Indefinitely If the
, provisions affecting the manufacture
of beer and wine* are retained and
Insisted upon In these nrrumstaf
res ? have not hesitated to say Vo
members of the senate who have been
hind enough to consult me that it
undoubtedly would be in the public
Interest in this very critical matter
if the friends of those provisions
should consent to their •limtnation
' from the present measure.
Feeling that your committee Is
actuated by the same patriotic mo
fives which Inspire me. I am con
fident the-e considerations will seem
to you, as they seem to me, impera

At the present time approximately
six miles of medium and large sewer
lines are under contract and being
