NENT.-At a meeting OF the subscribers to
the pool agreemcn, OF the stockholders OF
the Richmond and Danyillc railroad, held
to-day in the Richmond and Danyille of
ice, largely more than two thirds OF the
pool certificates were represented. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
/ ReSOlred, That the agreement heretofore
made by certain stockholders OF the Rich
mOnd and Danyile Railroad Company,
commonly known as the pool agreement,
and dated the l>t day OF June, 1882, be
and the same is so Ear modified aS 10 allow
any party holding pool certificates to pre-
sent the same within ninety days from this
/ date, at the Office OF the Central Trust Com
/ pany, Of New ! lork, ara 10 receive in eN-
change therefor an equivalent amount OF
Richmond and D3ayile stock; and any
| stOckholder Of the Richmond and Danyille
/ Company may, within the same time, pre-
sent his stock at said Office and obtain pool
certificates therefor, to be held subject to
/ the terms OF said agreement.
| RcSOlced, That notice OF the proceedings
Of this meeting be furnished to the Central
/ Trust Company OF New York. and that
said company is requested 10 make or cause
to be made all necessary transfers and eX-
changes in accordance with the foregoing
resolution.
/ Ii was stated in the meeting, on behalf OF
/ the New York holders, as reason for the
adoption Of the foregoing resolutions, that
. the pool certificates were not admissible
upon the Stock Exchange in New York ;
that a large proportion Oi the pool
certificates being held in New York, II
was very incOnyCniCnt to tie holders
10 be unable 20 Use them either for borrow
ing money or for delivery on sale. Ii l.
thought that the eject OF this resolution
will be that a large proportion OF the New
York stock will be withdrawn from the
pool, while lhe larger proportion Of the
Richmond stock viii preserve it, present
status. 1t is considered very desirable in
the public interest that parties in Richmond
who intend to hold their stock should avail
themscye, Of the privilege Of pooling,
which viii be open for ninety days.
