a meeting of the representatives of the two
roads will be held to consider the matter,
which will hardly be done until the first of
next month"

roads, which expired on Sunday, was limited
to three years, and stock TO the amount of
$500. 600 was pooled with Messrs. Alexan der

view of consolidating the two roads, but it
does not look as if this plan will be consum-
