THE WEBSTER & DUDLEY MIDDLE
Mr.. Flint and Mr.. Hill Both
Anxious to Secure Con-
troll of the Road.

Webster, Sept. 2S.-Charles L. Ross is
provoked at the manner in which the
directors of the Webster & Dudley Elec-
/ trio Street Railway Company have
used him. He told The Spy reporter
this morning that they had used him
for a good thing" He does not intend
to stand for it, either, and unless they
give him one or two things that he has
been asking for the past six months he
will leave them in the lurch.
John Flint of the road and Mr.. Ross
collided in a war of words on Main
street this morning. They had it hot
and heavy for while until Mr. Flint
walked off. Mr.. Flint wants a premium
on his bonds. He told the reporter that
he was sorry he ever went into the road
at all. Had he kept out of it he says
he would be $500 better off.
Last spring Mr.. Ross had serious as
pirations to become one of the board of
directors of the road Much, however,
to Mr.. Ross disappointment he did not
get the office he was looking for. In
fact, his name was not even mentioned
at the meeting when the election took
place. Printed slips were circulated
with the names of the nine directors
who officiated last year, and with one
exception they were unanimously voted
In, and Mr.. Ross was left out in the
cold
Mr. Ross has given Mr.. Flint to I'M
derstand that if he doesn't do some
thing in short time for him he will
give the road the go-by. He has limit
ed Mr. Flint's time to two days. If Mr..
Flint does not come to terms Mr.. Ross
intends to dispose of his stock to Edgar
S. Hill, who is looking for all the stock
he can secure.
Mr.. Hill is securing more of a hold on
the road each day, and it is only a
question of time when he will have alb
solute control of it, and then the riding
public will get good accommodations.
