Llle dDSellCe or Seld dJOf# Hall, WHO IS III,
 the matter went over indefinitely. The
 bill was introduced by Senator Hall. The Consolidated road was represented by Vice President Hall, Hon. Lynde Harrison and Hon. Henry c. Robinson. It will be remembered that at the last annual meeting of the Consolidated railroad there was quite a discussion over the matter of limiting the debate. President Clark stated then that the
 new rule was adopted in the interest of
 saving time, but if the stockholders who owned the property wished the time devoted for discussion and inquiry he had no doubt the directors would frame the necessary rule before the next l meeting.
 The bill was introduced to hit the Consolidated road, but in view of the
 fact that the directors are to change
 the rule to meet the wishes of the stock holders the legislative act is not deem- ed necessary.
