?Aas principally "to show th? variai

heads and said that the preponed improve?

were the lum of money which would be

prodigious
This pronounrement did not dishearten
the organization, but rather spurred it on
to double its energies to have the run
navigable to larger t-SaarSsS, liiinly believ?
ing that It* plans, which had In . n drawn

by experts, could be carried out at a ?om
paratlvely i-mmU cost. The governm? nt
experts were eventually w"n over to the
