Now, however, the cat's out of the bag. With the connivance of his brother commissioner, Bill Gaines, Paul puts over a scheme to take the rth district’s road fund, amounting to some $550,000, and split it with the South district, a maneuver of doubt- ful morality. Perhaps, Mr. Paul, a man can’t be so vewy extrava- gant with $78,000. But how about $275,000? FRENCH FIRE ON GERMANS ‘Seizure of Land Is) Continuing; Peo- ple Raging By Carl D.
