and Louisville, but they run at Lose, and the
Company are about to sell them. The report states
that the Road needs expenditure of about $780, 900
for repairs &C. The future business of the Road tits
thought will increase considerably, but the report stats
that no dividends will be made SO long there re-
pairs to make or debts pay Some ofthcstockhoderS
of the Peru Road, dissatisfied with the con-
- Cd ;p;u nd tho annr
alton of that road from the 4th of September was
transferred to the original company The will be
finally heard in October. Mr.. President Ellis argues
that thus far the Peru Company have received all
the benefits of the consolidation, the earnings of the
Madison being in the proportion of four to one and
the Peru Road being indebted to the CONSOLE
dated Company for repairs, & =, than one hun
bred thousand dollars Had the earnings Of the Mad
son Road been applied to her floating debt she would
have been comparatively easy, while the earnings Of
the Peru Road would not have paid the interest
on her debt due in July. The President expresses
the opinion that the true interests Of both Compa-
MES require the continuance of the consolidation.
