says : s'With continuance of the policy
of the development of local enterprises,
and with the increasing economy of the
management, the time is in the near fu-
ture when the company will, in addition
to meeting all its obligations in money as
they mature, be able to accumulate sur
plus for further additions to its property
or for distribution among the stockholders,
as they may deem most judicious." A
