THE BROADWAY ROADS STOCK.
POSITION OF THE PHILADELPHIANs.

NO ANXIETY on THEIR PART TO PAY 800 MORE
ON EACH SHARE.
The Philadcphians who took the management OF tne
Broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad into their hands
when Messrs. Kerr. Sharp, Foshay Hays and others
stepped down and to have elephant ON their
hands They made a conditional purchase OF ll'ooo
shares of stock enough give them the control OF tho
road the capital stock which consists Of 81 900 shares
at 500 EACH 1t is not much the road Itself, per-
haps, that Is staggering the Philadelphians'
as 1t is the price they paid for the stock.
After the great in the stock based the Broad
way Surface Railroad leases when went from lao TO
300 few shares selling at 3lo-there was lively
demand for the When. under the stress OF the
Senate Railroad Committees investigation. the Phadel-
phans sought to get the control. they were obliged to
deposit 1902 so share with Drexel Morgan Co. 10
secure the stock with the privilege Of taking 1t on pay
ment OF 800 more share January 1, 1887 being the
limit OF time.
The Philadelphians do not wish to the additional
800 share II they don't do this the old Broadway
and Seventh Avenue stockholders can take
the stock II they wish or they can
leave 1t and rest content with the 1892 80 If they so
desire. The prospect is decidedly that they Will
leave It.
II pretty we'll understood by all who are directly
interested that the Broadway and Seventh Avenue a-
road even with its surface railroad leases Is not inc
bonanza" 1t was supposed TO be. A man who Is III
position to know the facts says: Tho truth Is
that the value OF the Broadway franchise mas been
greatly overestmated This is based largely on the act
that people see the in Broadway CROWDED al day
and forget that the passenger traffic in lower Boaa"ay
almost wholly at or 6 p. M and is not resumed
until the next morning Now the Third and Eighth
aves lines there allnight traffic. People VINO "orA
by night travel on these lines But II you
get into an uptown Broadway car at CITY
Hall after 8 p. m you will generally ride
alone or nearly Foureenths; at the most there
will be only three four passengers. That sort OF thg
kills" -. A.. uoo, 10
Another matter which said 10 have hurt the road IS
the scent fares the elevated structures Even oeSo
the reduction the Broadway traffic had not percepuDy
Increased over last year and since the reduction there
ha- been falling off, The result Is that despite the he
eGnipment of the road, its hundred cars ana us
energetic mana cement II Is not the splendid properly
was expected II would be. 81, a..
At this is the view OF those on the inner ana ,e
outer circles the Philadelphia syndicate And the TO-
suit is that members not crying for the privilege vi
having 90 more OF their shares and the nearer
January 1887 approaches the they feel about IL
Messrs Sharp Kerr Foshay and ther friends have no
desire to take the back 5000 they would take
at lessf low enough In view OF the situation IL Is gen
orally conceded that they have the laugh Oh the Phade
