proposal
to

$550,000
to

it,
stressing
the
following
points:
1.
The
present
system
is
so
decrepit
that
"90
percent
of
the
line
crew's
time
is
spent
on
repair
work
to

it

leaving
no

for

or

2.
"Tile
only
type
of
system
that
should
be
put
in
is
an
automatic
one."
3.
A
new,
automatic
system
would
be
self-liquidating
out
of
savings
over
current
operation,
which
would
amount
to
about
$18,000
annually,
and

which,
with

would
