ELECTRIC ROAD.
Meeting of Directors of the Cherry Hill,
EktOn and Chesapeake City Railway
Company.

The chief topic of the week in Elkton has
been the proposed Cherry HILL Elkton and
Chesapeake City Electric Railway, interest
in the matter having been stimulated by the
meeting of the iucorporators on Tuesday
afternoon.
Tuesdays gathering of incorporators was
disturbed by something of a jar, the issue
being as to whether the subscription books
were actually open, and if not when they
should be opened. The outcome was that a
resolution was passed authorizing the open
ing Of books for the subscription of stock on
June % ut 10 o'clock Il. m. at the office Of
joseph H. Steele, in Chesapeake City, and Mt
the Office of the Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany, Elkton, books TO be closed on June 80
at 10 a. n.
A short time ago notice was given out
that subscription books had been opened at
the Office of John NJ. Tucker, secretary. in
Eikton. Acting upon this notice syndicate
OF Philadelphia capitalists headed by Car-
ence p. King subscribed to the stock. Scott
~ Company, bankers OF Wilmington, Del,
and Higgins u Cohen, of Philadelphia, have
been looking over the route as possible build
ers A member of the latter firm It is under
stood, is interested in the syndicate or com.
pany, that recently bought property in the
Seventh district, this county, including Mt
Ararat. for stone quarrying and other pur-
poses.
At Tuesdays meeting Mr.. King, who is at
the head Of the Philadelphia syndicate above
referred to, and also treasurer of the vii.
mington and New Castle Electric Railway
Company, appeared with his attorney Joshua
Clayton, of Elkton, and stated that they were
stock. They had some days ago deposited
guarantee fund in the Second National Bank
Of Elkton. He made reference to the system
Of road. they would construct. with its power
and equipment.
OF the board OF directors, numbering four.
teen all OF whom We're present at the meet
Ing, four favored accepting the proposition
OF the King syndicate at once. The majority
OF ten members Of the board voted TO hold
the matter open for consideration until June
p. Several who voted IN the majority said
to representative of the CECIL WING that
their reason for not passing upon the matter
then was that the opening of the books sew
era! weeks ago was premature and would not
stand legally and that according to resolu-
tion passed on May s any action taken by
the executive committee in previously declar-
ing the subscription books open required the
approval Of the entire board to ratify any
contracts entered Into, and which was not
forthcoming as indicated by the vote not to
open the books Until June %; and that time
was desired to allow Of Il thorough investi-
CATION being made as 70 the responsibility Of
all parties concerned in taking stock to in
sure the proper building, maintenance and
operation Of the road.
