Tho name condition applies witn equal fitness to all horss used by dray, trnnsfer and express lines. Cost of Construction Light. Tho cost of conptructlon of thoso troughs would bo but light nnd ihe con-vcnlenco con-vcnlenco to drivers would be great, while tho relief to tho suffering horses can not bo estimated.
