Davis will probably move his effects
to the new oflces, on or about Do-

The local Exemption Board will of
course make a change in quarters,

board will locate. It Is certain that
further chanavs will also be made in

through rapidly to the last defen-

That the surprise was complete
was shown by the fact that re-
