4 REGULAR BONBSHELL.
New England Receivers Ask
Permission to Issue Bonds.
IF GRANTED WOULD BE FIRST LIEN
On the Property, Taking Precedence
Over First or Second Mortgage
Bonds Holders of Latter Securities
VIII Protest Against New Issue.

NEW HAVEN, March, 2s.-The news
that receivers Platt and Perry of the New
England road applied TO Judge Wallace
OF the United States Circuit Court, for
permission TO issue bonds amounting TO
81 SOC, 900 has caused a decided commotion
among New Haven capitalists.
Receivers bonds have the hrst
lien upon property Therefore
n the New England receivers
are permitted to issue the proposed
bonds, the holders therefore may collect
their dues before any other creditor or
bond holder can be considered.
In 1876 the New England Road was
bonded for S10.0OO,000. In 1882 the road
was bonded for 20, 600 900 more and in 1889
Boston terminal bonds, so-called, TO the
amount OF q, 100000 We're issued. Interest
is payable semi-annually at the rate OF
q and per cent. The interest amounting
TO $3.50, 900 on the first meeting bonds, due
last January has not been paid. Interest
amounting to Si50,000 on the second mort
gage bands due February !, has not been
paid.
A majority OF these second meeting bonds
are held by the Consolidated road and
stock holders thereof who reside in
Connecticut. They propose TO protect
their interests and will object to allowing
Receivers Platt and Perry authority TO is
ne receivers bonds.
A provision in the first meeting bond
gives rights 10 the bondholders to an ac-
tion in equity in case IL is attempted
TO interfere with fheir securities.
Both the first and second mortgage bond
holders consider he action OF the receiv-
ers TO be against their interests and they
viii protest against giving authority to
issue new bonds.

The rumor that the Bath Iron Works OF
Maine Iare thinking OF locating in Con-
necticut has aroused the people OF North
Providence to the fact that they
have in their midst two of the
finest water privileges in the country
and within three miles of Market Square.
There Is q movement on foot among the
enterprising citizens of that town 10 ex-
tend an invitation to Thomas w. Hyde,
president of the Bath Iron Works, to
come here and look it over. Six years ago
the Gorham Manufacturing Co. wanted
to locate their plant in North Provi-
dence, but could not buy the land
from Hezekiah Olney, who said he did not
want any wheels running on mis- land, TO
dirty the water for his cattle. Mr.. Olney
is dead now and ii is said the heirs are
willing to sell at any reasonable price.
Olney was very eccentric man.
Woodville Pond covers several acres of
land and furnished water for Dempseys
Bleachery 10 years ago. Mr.. Dempsey
wanted to rebuild larger factory
but Olney would not sell him
the necessary land. So he located in
Pawtucket. The ruins of the bleachery
are still standing and are visited even to-
day by the curious. III the Bath Iron
Works should locate here, or any other
enterprising firm, many OF the
citizens of the town are willing
to give them 10 years taxes.
Situated about half mile above the
Woodville pond is another very large
pond, covering over two acres and is
great resort for fishermen. There is a
great deal of good building land in the
vicinity. The electric cars run within
quarter of a mile OF W.oodville.
