THUNDERSTORMS ARE VERY GREAT BENEFIT Harvard Profoaaor Talk of the Good TWy do—Naadlaaa Fear at Li|klnbi| Cambridge, Maes., March 2.—The much mooted queetion aa to whether lightning roda are efficient in warding off destruction from lightning bolta haa been anawerad by Prof. D.

It had been indicate*1 that, the commission's policy is to accept' the opinion of the chamber of com- \ merce whenever possible. -i 1 The complainanta state that the pro-i posed site is in the negro section of] the city, not easily accessible to travelers and far from the business ttnter. / il is probable that oral argument. will be heard if opposition to the site! seems dete mined and serious.'
