manager, and Cornelius S.Sweeltand of
Providence, r. l., receivers for the cable
property, West End electric property,
Argo horse car line and all auxiliary
properties and franchises. The receivers
gave bonds of $780, 600 each in court yes
terday. They will deposit all net pro-
ceeds Of the business in the First
National bank and make report to the
court on the last day of every month.
The company went into receivership
because it.cannot pay the interest on its
debts and meet maturing notes. 1t is
claimed the business has dropped from
$1,000 per dayeto $500 per day. Reducing
expenses to one-half, and at the same

prevented the Grand Jury from getting what 1t

Company from competing for the franchises, and
that the Mayor became party to the fraud when he
