Ehringhaus, presiding chairman ex-off icio, made it clear at the outset that those who wished to re-open the much de bated question would be heard to the full extent of their argu ment. Attack Accordingly, after a motion was carried admitting both the press and the general public, Mr. Hill rallied his forces and began the attack on consolidation. Aft er a brief, summary of the his- jtory of the plan, he introduced Judge R. A. Sykes, who had been I 4nTVint ctA plinirmnn rtf fVio nltlTTI- ni association committee on con solidation.
