| Plans fer Future.
The future policy of the company
was discussed somewhat, but will be
determined positively by the new direc

be operated with a big force. and the
company will assume a progressive
land aggressive policy.
The deal through which the person
mel of the stock holders is changed
and powerful interests become asso
ciated with the company, involves th'
elimination of small stockholders b.
the purchase of stock. 1t is expected
that the capital of the company will b
doubled, and that an opportunity will
be given for the stockholders and cit
Zens generally to purchase preferreI
stock to the amount of approximate
$500, GEO or 100000. However, thi
is to be settled by subsequent actor
of the board of directors. nothing

main extension for fire protection, as
was indicated at the meeting of the

important factor in the decision of

the aldermen will voice the sentiment
of the people in assuring the residents
of the outlying district of sufficient
