are to be made next month"; is to be commenced
a mile and a-half east of Bayview and TO extend

known as the upper crossing. On the Delaware
Division the grading and masonry work to be

The Maryland Central Railroad.

The board of directors of the Maryland
Central Railroad Company held important
meetings at North Avenue Station, Baltimore
last Friday and Saturday. The financial
condition of the company was carefully con-
sidered, and it was concluded to issue $780,
900 secondmortgagc per cent. ten-year
bonds, to procure the additional amount need
ed to complete the road to Delta. Messrs
McCabe & Bro, under their contract, will
finish the road to Bel Air some time next
month, and upon the success of the directors
in selling their second-mortgage bonds will
depend the speedy completion of the entire
road 1t was stated that the loan can be
raised, for there are already promises made to
that end 1t was also stated that Messrs.
McCabe & Bro. propose to go into the second
mortgage with other investors, and Mr..
Foulk Jones and others at the upper end OF
the road are understood to guarantee $4,000
gross business at Delta the first year.
If the project should fail, the completion OF
Of the road may be retarded but that it will
eventually be made to Delta is as certain as
that the sun shines.
The charter authorized the directors to is
sue 100000 first mortgage bonds OF this
amount about $350,000 have been sold. The
remainder has all been pledged as security
$4,000 are in the Safe Deposit Company's
vaults in Baltimore Ia secure Messrs. McCabe
who are engaged in constructing the road
from the Great Gunpowdcr river to Bel Air
a distance of fifteen miles About $4,000
more of the bonds are hypothetical for O
loan of $4,000, and the remainder are also
pledged rs security for money borrowed
When the road reaches Bel Air 1903 600 will
he due the McCabes, who are to be paid Sc
per cent. under the contract, with satisfactory
security for the balance The floating debt
is estimated at $4,000
The estimated cost of the extension from
Bel Air to Delta, eighteen miles, is 1923, 600
There are, however, $4,000 crosslies ant
12j 600 feet of trestling delivered on this
portion of the road, which will reduce the cs
timatcd cost to 100000 If the S150,00(

upon the statements made, to finish the road
When the second mortgage bonds are SOLE
the Hypothetical bonds can be released ant
sold Their sale would put the company II
possession of perhaps $4,000 more, which
would be amply sufficient 10 put the roat
firmly upon its feet
1t seems, therefore, that the completion OF til,
road depends now upon the success of the di
rectors in disposing of the second-mortgag
loan If they should fail in this the road will
probably go into the hands of receivers, il
which event the work of completing it will b
postponed for time.
1t is stated that when the road reaches BE
