There was no mistabing the viii Of
the shareholders of the Gas Company
present al the special meeting last
Friday. They were in control, and
they knew Il, and were so unanimous
in their desire for the various meas

meeting and silenced Oy their Unanim-

otherwise developed. Moreover. they
were in no mood to brook further de-

and this time they were out for the
action that would give valid reason
for the present market value OF the

There are hundreds Of shareholders
who have been waiting for action that
would give them an opportunity 10 get
out on stock at a profit, and IL is likely
that a moderate amount of stock VIII
be thrown on the market in the COM

the Gas Company made the assertion
that the shares would sell at par before
Christmas of 1910. an estimate that may
be 10 points too high-although Il is not
without the pale Of probability. For
the next few weeks it will make slow
progress to higher levels, unless an accu
