To settle once for all the rumors that John +

There is not the slightest truth in the report
that the Interborough has had for moment In

consider it. The Interborough company does
nor make a nractice of buying from their
engagements; it seeks to secure those who are
willing to enter its service in spirit OF loyalty
ond who will remain and will serve its inter-
acts and identify their future with it; and above
all II will not go into the government service, 10
that services detrinent, and take away its pest
instrnn1ents but will continue its efforts ex-
cIusively to build and manage transportation IN
