LIS AFFAIRS SATISFACTORY.
The Virginia Land and Loan Company In
Good Condition.

Good Condition.
As published in yesterdays DISPATCH,
the Richmond stockholders of the Virginia
Land and Loan Company, with headquar-
ters at Staunton. held meeting at Laube's
Hall on Tuesday evening and heard the
report of the special committee ap-
pointed to look into the affairs of
the organization. There were pres
ent nearly all the Richmond share
holders. The report was made by MIR.
b. @. Wherry and. showed that the
books and accounts of the company had
been carefully examined into and found in
very satisfactory condition. The COM
pany had up to the present time more
than held its own, after giving the stock
holders the credit from its organization TO
date of q dividend of l6 per cent. and
liduidating the charter members expense
fund, thus doing away with an outlay that
would have continued TO cripple the Or
ganization.
The company. the report showed, is upon
a solid basis. The building feature has
been abolished. and the company proposes
now TO simply fulfil its functions as "a loan
ing institution. The expense account was
reduced about so per cent. in the past year:
Some of the stockholders in Staunton and
many in Baltimore, who had sent IN with
drawal notices. have given notice that they
will reinstate themselves. The report. of
the special committee was very satlsfac-
tory to the Richmond stockholders.
Mr.. A. w. Patterson. of the committee
who attended the Staunton meeting on the
18th. made statement confirming and re-
enforcing the report made by MIR. Wherry:
The properties owned are in Richmond
and Stanton. The annual meeting taxes
place next July, when 1T IS thought thst
two members OF the board will be elected
from Richmond. A committee was ap-
pointed at the meeting on the 18th instant
to prepare q circular to be sent out to all
the stockholders. The paper will set forth
all information derived by sn examination
into the affairs of the organization.

Mr.. PlzzINrS REPLY.
He Refers Letter from His Company to
the Exposition Committee.


The following letter in reference to the
extension of the Broad-street lines 10 tne
Exposition Grounds in order TO afford
ample Transportation facilities during the
Exposition this fall was yesterday for
wardsd to the transportation Committee
of the Agricultural Society:
II have received the following from the
New York Office:
80 We want additional light on the sub
ject before deciding whether we Will build
the proposed track TO the Exposition
Grounds with the clause allowing us 10
charge an additional fare stricken out.
We won't say that we will not build it.
but In view of the fact that 1t will require
a very large outlay OF money, and of the
further fact that we have already expend-
ed the sum of $4,000 which was almost
total loss, and that in all probability the
extension would not be used eleven
months IN the year, or, If used, would
be run at O large loss. we should
be offered very liberal privileges
in connection with II in other respects. IL
il sure not to pay because our revenue
could not be greatly increased during the
Exposition over what il would be with our
present tracks, but we have done great
deal of work IN vour city, which we knew
at the time would result in loss. In order
TO show to your people that we were
deeply interested in the welfare of the city
beyond any present prospects, and we are
ready TO do our part further, provided the
loss will not be too heavy, or II we can see
some future beneficial results likely TO re-
suit from it,
Il would therefore suggest that the or
dinance which your committee proposes
to have the Council pass be referred to
the company for its acceptance or suSges-
tiOns as soon as possible"
