MOUNT LOWE RAILWAY.
The creditors of the Mount Lowe rail-
way company have been considering
what course to pursue with reference to
their claims, and yesterday committee
was appointed. consisting of j. b. New
ton of the Harper & Reynolds COM
pany, Mr.. johnson of the Union Hard
ware and Metal company, and Fred Ba-
ker, to confer with Prof Lowe and see
what arrangement could be arrived at
that would be satisfactory all around,
II possible. 1t is probable that either an
arrangement will be entered into by
which the company will be granted an
extension of time or else receiver will
be appointed to conduct its affairs, with
Prof. Lowe still acting as president and
general manager. The floating debts
are said to amount to about SIG, $500
OF this amount being due for labor per-
formed. It is to be hoped that salts
factory adjustment can be arranged for
the road Is of great benefit to Pasadena,
ana 1t would be unfortunate for this city,
as well as for the company, if it should
be seriously crippled
