COULDN'T TRANSACT BUSINESS.
Street Railway Co.'s Annual Adjourned
for Lack Of Majority.

About % stockholders in the Brattle-
boro Street Railway company gathered
| in the grange banquet hall Monday
evening for the annual meeting of the
corporation, but as only ls1 shares or
stock We're represented and the ma
| jority needed was 27S no legal business
could be transacted. The meeting was
called to order by the president C. o.
/ Robbins. and the roll call read by the
/ clerk. +. L. Hunt After ii was found
| that majority of stock was not rep
resented Mr. Robbins stated that the
directors would be glad to answer any
questions as to the financial condition
of the company, and about an hour was
spent in discussing affairs relative to
| the road.
A. T Tufts of Maiden. Mass. a
brother-in- law of A. w. Stowe, asked
III the bonded debt had been reduced
at all. and Mr.. Robbins explained that
$4,000 which was to apply on the debt.
had already been paid TO the trustees
and that at the end of 10 years there
would be sufficient amount to the
credit of the bond fund to take up IL
bonds. After that 1t was estimated
that the company could take up one
bond year. Relative to the results OF
the change in the price of fares sup
erintendent c. X. Jones stated that the
increase in the sale of tickets was SO
great that it put the road nearer TO
five cent basis than was expected al
the time the change was made.
Carl Hollender inquired why the
company was $1,700 more In debt than
last year and Mr.. Robbins explained
1t by stating that there was an increase
of S21S in the cost of removing the
snow and ice from the tracks last Win
ter. that over $500 more had been spent
in needed repairs to the equipment,
that the paving of Main street hill be-
tween the rails had cost about $500 |
that there was an increase of Sl35 IN /
the state tax and about 1929 in the coal !
bill Previous to last spring the gem
orators had never been run less than /
so DAYS on water power but on account |
of the conditions this year there were |
only 26 days when water power could |
be used.
f. l.. Hunt then stated that as one |
of the board of directors he had be- |
come tired of holding office by default |
and hoped that all present would try |
to secure enough proxies before the |
adjourned annual meeting so that an |
election could be held. After further |
by different stockholders and |
a short talk on present conditions by I
Jones it was voted to |
adjourn until Monday evening. Aug

Col JAS 8. Davis, president of the

tion, has called q meeting Of that

from the Houston Post that Harvie
Jordan Of Georgia. president of the
cotton association recently organized
at New Orleans, Is touring Texas
Certainly every Ellis county farmer
should stand by Mr.. Jordan and his
association. Ellis county, the BAN
ner cotton producing county in the
world, has everything to gain by
staying with Mr.. Jordan. Since this
association was formed in New Or
leans cotton has advanced $500 or
more per bale. If the farmers will
stick to this movement they will even
tually have some say in the price for
which their cotton shall sell. | hope
the Ellis county farmers will cut
down their cotton acreage and help
bring the price back where IL ought
TO be, ten cents at least, but this will
not be done If we continue to pile
up the two million surplus bales pro-
duced last year.
