This is the big oak grown from the seed planted by Sid Kent at Columbus and successfully nursed through the 2-2-2 and 5-5-5 storms in New York and Atlantic City, respectively. The contract will now go to the individual units of the M.P.T.O.A. and Allied for final ratification. Apparently this is a matter of course, as the leaders on each side of the triangle have already openly agreed to its provisions. It was a big outstanding job that should prove beneficial to everyone. It is expected that the new contract will go into universal use with the start of 1931.
