WILLIAM WAGNER,
Sec;y Denver and Rio Grande R'y Co.
The board OF directors, In q notice to
the stockholders, says: In the special
report of January u It was announced
the policy of the company, under
any circumstances, would be, in view
of the changed financial atmosphere,
to proceed circumspectly and TO
avoid a floating debt. While the
pl6QRe III TbBdEu W u uOhbiuB uoDb
has been substantially carried out
to the present time, the company
finds itself unable to finish without break
ing in upon the policy which was set up
last January, as the most advisable to adj
here to under any circumstances. The
board of directors consequently at a
meeting to-day, in order to avoid
this alternative, have deemed II
best to increase the stock from 29,618,
600 to S3O,0OO,0O0, being an ad.
dition of $3.50 The board II
satisfied this will enable the 1906
miles eli road, including the extension to
Utah, to be completed and leave the com
pany with q new trunk line open
for business early In the new
year and secure Its net earnings
from calls from construction, whose cost
is uncertain and which, as far as the
Denver and Rio Grande is concerned, VIII
practically cease next month.
