2. EC: In respect the proposed operation regarding dance hall as with pier, these were they undertaken on a large scale WOULD be - and would prove - VERY profitable. Under the EXISTENT circumstances, and the amount that would be involved, as we find, would NOT be a profitable undertaking - either as an individual or from group; but this should be reserved BY the body, should she desire that LATER this be gone into on a scale that would ENABLE same TO be made a profitable undertaking.

   (A) This should be used about a one to five.

    (A) The powder will make for a better base, see?
11. (Q) Any further advice to the body regarding any of these?
    (A) These should be tested, each of these - you see - IN their many various forms, see? and by the time these have been tested three, four, five, ten times, then there will be reached that that will be of a base that will be an UNUSUAL, and a success that will be SURPRISING may be made from same!
