Nous meeting yesterday, and passed
resolution to issue twenty-year first

what is better yet, the vote was unan-
imous. This will put the road right
ahead. all interests are harmonized,
and the 81, 100000 thus raised will do q
great deal. Takers are plenty for tho
bonds az soon as they are issued. There
will be meeting Of the directors to-
day TO ratify the action Of the stock
