Organization Deferred by Lack of
Turnout.

number of subscribers to the de-
velopment company stock did not

was decided to defer the organiza-

anything Of value is found. As
most all those having business
or pecuniary interests of cOnse-
quence have signilied a willing
ness to go INTO the enterprise, it is
a good deal like the city charter
ing itself. In this connection it Is
proper to remark that only about
two thousand of the three thou
sand dollars desired has been sub
scribed, and all are welcome-and
their assistance and counsel de-
sired
