Lilo, French banker. Ths Erie Directors
had meeting today, and after business
was over, Messrs- MeHenry, SaterthWaite,
Kennard and Sif Morton Pets we're intro
duced- These gentlemen had 8 plain but
informal talk with the Erie managers.
They stated substantially that they wanted
a double track, broad guAge from New
York to St. Louis, and we're willing to fur
nish money to the Erie to complete their
road in this respect. They intend to
double the track of the Atlantic and Great
Western, but there is no use in this unless
the Erie does the same. They want the
Erie and the Atlantic and Great Western
to be integral roads, and both Of them
placed on the same footing. -r a
