NORTH WEST ALEXANDRIA.-Ar-
rangements are being made for a change
in the affairs of North West Alexandria,
a villa suburb laid out several years
ago. The enterprise was an extensive
one. A large area of land was pur-
chased on the slopes of the highlands
northwest Of this city and plated into
sites for cottages with grounds. Lot
sales we're advertised and efforts made
to induce purchase and settlement, but
the enterprise so far has not been a sue
cess, and the directors have issued a
circular to the stockholders which be-
gins by saying: 1.-The directors of the
company are now notified by our credi-
tors that the debt due them, amount
ing at this late to $40, 600, must be paid.
Your directors find it impossible to pay
this debt by the usual method Of selling
lots; therefore, before the property is
put up at public auction, which has now
become a necessity, they deem it advis-
able to report directly to you" The
auction sale has been fixed for June 10.
In the meanwhile the directors offer to
exchange stock for lots, the stockhold.
ers taking lots in one portion of the
grounds, to pay 20 per cent. cash and
the residue in paid-up stock of the COM
pany, and those taking lots in other
portions to urn in their stock and pay
so per cent. in cash or approved paper
for the lots. The annual meeting of
the company will be held here on the
Sth of June.
