Mr.. Jameson has personal interest in the
extension of the Northeast. He feels GER
tain that its extension will not stop at
New Hope, but will 60 to Easton, dis.
: lance of thirty two miles further. 1t will
then become a part of the Poughkeepsle
: bridge system between Philadelphia and
Boston. BY adding seventeen miles to
the Northeast extension It will greatly i'm
prove the position of the stockholders and
the stock will pay dividend. At present
the expenses and also the fixed charges,
that Is interest on the bonds which Is $40,
900 year, Is oil charged against 1t.
When the new bonds are substituted for
the old bonds shortly to become duo the
fixed charges on the whole road, seven.
teen miles longer than now, will be only
$24, 900 per year interest. Thus the road
, with It's new business, its dozen new sta
7 tons and increased patronage will make
1t a paying road. Mr.. Jameson says there
is a great deal OF local business TO be
gathered in 10 a railroad on the West side
of the Delaware between New Hope and
, Easton. = Trenton Times.
