The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-10-11

Testimony has been brought out
before the Public Service Commits
sion of New York City that some of
the big guns of the Metropolitan
Securities Company had man to
buy up a street railway franchise
for quarter of million, got the
metropolitan to buy it in for nearly
a Million, and then divided up the
difference. Not a rail was laid nor
any rolling stock purchased with the
railroad franchise, and the road wss
listed with the assets of the Metro
politan at nearly a million dollars
Which shows that the big traction
merger in the leading city was not
only soaked but pretty well drained
also. No wonder John D. Rookie
Teller is wearing a green vest.
