State. but owned only about 500 worth
OF property in this State. that 1t owned
stocks and bonds OF railroads and other
property, and had a capitalization Of $780,

sl2 to s23 on the 800. He said that the
company operated no road. He was then
referred to the statutes Of the State re-
lating to franchise Of railroads, and given
a report, upon which he was requested to
