TALK on TiiE STREET.
The opinion on the street is that
the change is the best thing which
could occur for the companv's inter
ests. and Billings being the first
president has a better knowledge of
this system of roads than anv other
man living. He Is several times a
millionaire, and the public has con
fidence in him. His boliay Will lie a
conservative one. and he will favor
retrenchment The change can't
be for the worse in any event" said a

by itself any disparagem ant to Vii

The public should await further dc
velopments before rushing in an,
selling out. The morals of Wal
