<br /> <br />peried ef time? <br /> <br />MR. NORVIE1: I den't believe Mr. McClure understands what <br /> <br />wo are driving at, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. McCLURE: Maybe not. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER, The objection raised last evening by Mr. <br /> <br />Nerviel was that en a ten year average it was possible to have <br /> <br />three dry years in 'Thich there was no delivery ef 'Tater at all <br /> <br />and to bet on the total of the other seven years supplying the <br /> <br />aVerage and that such an interval ef three years, taking the <br /> <br />extreme case, that would be disastreus to the lower states. <br /> <br />That was your thought, 'IaS it not? <br /> <br />MR. NORVIE1: Yes, and twenty years ,fQuld be that much <br /> <br />mOTe ef a burden, _ ten years added te that would be that much <br /> <br />more of a burden.
