and declared a semi-annual dividend
of per cent. This was agreed upon
after considerable discussion, several
of the directors being in favor Of
passing the dividend altogether, on
the ground that the earnings had not
been sufficient to warrant a declara-
ton, while others held for 8 per cent
on account Of the improving condi-
ton OF trunk line affairs. The 2 per

as a compromise.
