If the third or fifth forms are used, they should not be combined with the second form, "Plan To Let Experts, etc.," suggested for the second deck, because of the repetition of the word "plan."

For the fourth deck the idea that the dispute is an annual one, and, if not already used, the point that the plan is going into effect next year, may both be expressed within the limits, which are the same as those for the second deck, as follows:


(1)

                             12 words
New Method Will End Annual | 27 units
 Dispute of Aldermen Over | 24 units
   Allotment of Money. | 18 units


(2)

                              11 words
Annual Squabble of Aldermen | 27 units
 Over Street Cleaning Money | 26 units
      Ends Next Year. | 14 units

In complete form with one of each of these possibilities chosen to avoid repetition, the head will read:
