Another New York stakeholder was here
this week looking at the street car line
However, his appearance did not excite
any interest, as our people have been fool
ed too often by the appearance of these

settled down to the conviction that no re-
pairs are contemplated and that the ROAD
will be run as long as it will hold up and
then be abandoned. The trouble with the
line is that it was built TO sell instead OF as
a permanent institution. 1t didn't sell and
that is where the New York fellows got
left.
