CONDITION TO THE SALE.
1t is claimed to-day that the purchase
of the Richmond Railway and Electric
Company properties by the Newton
Boyd Syndicate, is dependent on their
securing all the privileges they desire
from the city. In the meantime there
is another strong combination of Rich
mond business men after the Main
street franchise. and are negotiating
with the owners of the old system.
whether they succeed or not In this
negotiation, they VIII in any event
make vigorous fight before the CRY
council for the Main street franchise
and as they are prepared to furnish
evidence OF their ability to handle the
road properly and will offer most liberal
terms and special inducements TO the
city, they expect their efforts in that
direction to be crowned with success.
