Gill voted to increase resicrnce lighting from 7 cents to 8% cents when he was in the council.

Can Present Case More Forcefully Reynolds asked the bureau to designate an attorney to take the matter up with him at once. ‘By bringing these intervenors’ suit Reynolds explained, “we can present our case to the interstate commerce commission more forcefully than by any other means. “Each organization, and each individual of that organization, is im terested in having tourists come here.
