'In ail our dealings, we have
never had .more thorough under-
standing with of ferial* than we
have enjoyed in constructing Co-
manche's new City Hail and Fire
Button The city officials have
cheerfully furnished materials, and
workmanship which was * Impos-
sible for the Government to grant.
It has been a real pleasure to
work with evenyone connected
with this Job. and I thoroughly
believe that every dollar expend-
ed on the Job can well be account-
ed for," -
Tom Pate, supervisor on con-
structing the building, said he bad
an average of sixty man under
his direction during the four and
one-half months time ' taken to
