trely unfamiliar to them. and they
will leave the disposition of the bond
issue to the brokers and larger finan-
cial institutions which are more famil-

tai to invest i'm such enterprises. The
report of the trolley expert, Major Cal
houn, is out I'm typewriter form and
he Is sangune that the route will
prove a profitable one should the road
be established, and it is on the strength
of this report that Mr. Gardner expects
to interest capital. Major Calhoun is a
