the coast of the State of Washington and found a
large number OF islands why're thousands Of birds
were breeding These barren. rocky and Of
no value and had been for years the resort Of sea
birds
An appeal was made TO President Roosevelt and
he made a reservation of three islands on the
Washfngton coast and of group of rocks on the
OREGON coast which the association had heen pro-
tecting not knowing belonged the federal gov

D. &. II. SEEKS NEW ORDER
U7iH Ask p. S. c. for Permission to
Make 81 900 900 Bond Issue.

The Delaware Hudson Company, 1t was learned
yesterday has taken steps TO obtain permission OF
the Public Service Commission Of the I'd District
to issue $7.0Coo00 additional bonds. The company
not long ago made application to the commission
for the right to issue s20ooooe8 first mortgage
per cent bonds. but was permitted to issue only
about $1,000 900 of the amount. the commission
questioning the right of the company to issue the
balance, the ground that the purpose for which
ii was misunderstanding the floating debt-did not
form proper charge against the capital account
under the public service law.
result Of recent conferences between officials
Of the Delaware & Hudson Company and members
of the commission however, It was said yester-
day that the matter would be taken up and new
hearing granted in the future. 1t is under
stood that the company will not submit new ap-
plicatiOn, but will present additional data on the
former application of a nature 10 convince the
commission that the bond issue asked for is in all
respects proper. The hearing will probably be
held early in August.
Should the company get the right to issue these
additional bonds 1t IS probable that the same syn
dicate which took the original s3 0e of the issue
recently sold Will purchase them.
