MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON TO
CONSIDER THE PROPOSITION

MEETING OF THE SIOCkHOLDEttS
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON TO
CONSIDER THE PROPOSITION.
At the office Of Scott & Co. yesterday
afternoon an adjourned meeting of the
holders Of the minority stock OF the
Wilmingtn City Railway Company was
held. The proposition OF e. w. Clark
& Co. relative to the minority holdings
was considered. Between thirty and
forty OF the holders were present, and
the meeting was interesting H. p.
Scott, Of the firm Of Scott & Co.. Clar-
ence M. Clark, president Of the City
Railway, and John S. Rossel. o the
Security, Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany, explained the situation. The Of
fer OF thirteen for all minority hold
ings was considered liberal The opin-
ion was that the offer should be ac-
cepted. It is more than the majority
of the minority holders anticipated
getting, and the method of paying for
the stock is considered good.
The securities underlying the 5 per
cent. gold collateral trust bond are the
stocks OF the Wilmington and Chester
railways. the Darby extension and the
connecting link between this city and
Chester. The exchange OF the stock
for the gold bonds at thirteen share
will be equal 10 an investment at per
cent. on the par OF stock, which If
now eight per share. as the minority
holders will not have to pay the 81
called several weeks ago. There is nc
doubt that the offer will be accepted
as the greater part OF the minority
holdings have already been deposited
with the Security. Trust and Safe De
posit Company.
