CORPORATION Bill
WILL BE REPORTED +,
Sweeping Changes Made in in
the House Measure
BY Committee.

rha senate Committees on Roads and
Courts OF Justice held an executive ses-
sion last night and completed the oonsld-
eration OF House bill No. 1o2, relating
to the organization and government OF
cornoratlons. and q great many changes
were made. +. tiy
Indeed, 1T is said that should Colonel
caton who drew the original BILL meet
It on tho street as II comes from the
Senate committees. he would not recog-
nize 1t, .Sstt.
The chief change consists In amend
1nents modifying the merger clause they
having been presented In the Senate by
Alassrs. whitehead and Cogbill and
adopted by the committees. J,
IKE bill now forbids the merging OF
parallel and competing lines, and places
ali foreign corporations on the same foot
Ing with domestic ones In this matter.
Another important modification is that
which keeps all chartered corporations
Under legislative control by striking out
tho provisions which, gave almost un-
limited and unrestricted powers to cor
porations.
All foreign corporations are made do
nestle to all ntents and purposes when
they come into Virginia. and they are
required to pay regular charter fees and
otherwise conform to State laws govern
Ing domestic corporations.
But these arc but few of the amend
nents and changes
The bill will be reported to tho Senate
to-day, and members OF the commit
tees declare that In Its present shape
they belieye It satisfactory to all parties
concerned. Notwithstanding this view.
there will likely be something OF a fight
IN the Senate. ls5e. As53ttsleS IL Fgt+E
