Definite assurance was given late

cially to Turner T. Wallis, secretary-
manager of the Orange hamber of
Commerce, and W. R. Simmons,
chairman of the committee in charge

Simmons and Wallis traversed the
length of the Louisiana dump late

in less than fifteen minutes. On the

the Louisiana engineer in charge of
the shelling work and were informed
that the project was completed for
traffic.
Another coat of shell will be laid

ferry owner, who was the successful
bidder for the. work. This final coat
