Hammond and Crown Point by inter-
urban line. and it is said looks very
favorably on the proposition.

off two of their most convenient trains

the officials, asking that the present
service at least be continued. The ac-
commodation of the Erie is anything
but perfect even with these two trains

off, the service would be well nigh
uncomfortable.

Richmond, Va, Nov l6.--At the
annual meeting of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad here today, the stock
holders were asked to approve
proposition for authorizing the is
sue of gold bonds not to exceed
S2OO, 100000,
1t is understood that the company
does not contemplate issuing any of
the bonds in the immediate future,
but the directors wish it to be in a
position to raise money for double
tracking and otherwise improving
the system.
The new bonds will carry interest
al the rate of 4 per cent. Included
in the general purpose of the pro
posed issue is the retirement by ex-
change of the cOmpany's certificates
of Indebtedness, but in respect to this
particular obligation it is proposed
TO provide an alternative method of
retirement in the form of per
cent. debenture bonds. The latter
it is proposed to make convertible
into the cOmpany's stock, and for
this purpose the stockholders will
act on the proposal to increase the
outstanding stock of the company by
such amount as may be necessary TO
provide for the conversion of any
such bonds into stock.
