NORTHERN OHIO TO be
LISTED IN NEW YORK

The annual meeting of the Northern
Ohio Traction & Light company will
be held at Akron next Saturday, and
interest in the company's affairs is re-
viving. 1t is expected that the stock
Of the company will be listed on the
New York stock exchange in about
ten days, says Finance of Cleveland.
The New York certificates have been
received and will be shipped to New
York this week. After a few trans
fers are made at the Office of Kean,
Van Cortland & Co., the New York
transfer agents, evidence of this fact
will be communicated to the New
York stock exchange and the formal
listing on that exchange will follow.
After this is completed the stock will
be listed in New York, Cleveland
and Montreal and stockholders may
transfer their stock at any one of
these three places. Officials believe
that the listing of this security on
the New York stock exchange, espec-
tally in view Of the remarkable good
showing the company is making just
now, will very greatly broaden the
market Of the company and will re-
suit III al 6uuduCSu uudThti pIlCS lOl
the stock.
The Northern Ohio Traction & Light
company had very successful year
in 1908. This is shown by advance
figures secured from General Manager
Currie, continues Finance. The gross
earnings of the company for 1908 were
$1,S90,473, as against $1,000 ,060.75 for
1907, decrease in gross earnings of
$1S,5S7. For 1908 the operating ex
penses were $1,0S6, ,423.64 as against
$1,095, 1851 for 1907, decrease of
$9,331.47. The fixed charges for 1908
were 1926, ,522.28 as against $513, ,241.S6
for 1907, an increase of $13,290. The
surplus for stock for 1908 was $277,-
517.22 as against $300O63.7S, de-
crease of $22, 2,546. In 1908 the company
paid in dividends the sum of s134, Isl
as against $158,788 in 1907 This re-
duction in dividend payments was
caused by the reduction in the rate
for the last two quarters Of the year
from one-half Of one per cent to one
quarter of one per cent. The surplus
after all dividends were paid for 1903
was $143,366, as against $141, ,285 for
1907, an increase in surplus for the
year $2080.

THE GOOD REsoLVERs.

Do not scoff at the man who
started out bravely on the first day
of the new year with a firm resolu-
tion to correct some fault, eschew
a favorite indulgence or acquire a
new habit of helpfulness and unset
fishness and who has failed to keep
on in the path of rectitude. There
is no joke in the failure of one who
has hoped to prove strong enough
to keep the leaf" turned down. Many
a tragedy is enacted during these
first few days of the year, when the
weaknesses develop anew and good
resolves are broken every hour,
tragedies none the less because un-
accompanied by what the world calls
disaster. The man who, realizing
that strong drink is his enemy, re-
solves to cease using it and who
yields to temptation to indulge very
soon after trying to stop is to be
sincerely pitied, not derided. Yet he
has acquired the merit of having
tried: In that he has conquered,
through his acknowledgement of the
evil He is better off in point of
character than the man who has not
tried. This is the time for a mans
true friends to help him keep his
pledges, and man who is making
the fight to strengthen himself may
easily discern which of those with
whom he associates are his friends
and which are his foes. There is
little genuine friendship in the con-
VITALITY which jests at good reso-
lutions and taunts the earnest seek
er for freedom from a demoralizing
habit.-Washingto Star.
