requested me to take charge of their
joint interests. 1t is possible that we
also will interest ourselves in the sale"
The bonds of the Ocean Shore are 50
widely scattered that il will be din
cult to obtain absolutely concerted ac-
tfon- They are held almost entirely IN
San Francisco. but were sold in denOunI-
nations of $100 and thus found their
way into the hands of hundreds OF
small investors. A working majority.
representing those most heavily con-
cerned. can be brought to an agreement,
however. with little trouble.
To the present holders of the securi-
ties accruss a natural advantage in
competition for the property. Should
the bids not reach the sum they regard
as reasonable it is to be presumed that
they will take over the assets.
s7.Ooo.OOO EXPENDED
To date approximately $1,000. 900 has
been expended. The examining board
of engineers has reported that the line
can be completed for something more
than SS,000.OO0 With the road in the
possession of the bond holders an issue
for the remaining work would becOms
first lien on the property. The plan
plainly is feasible. It's contamination
will necessitate the greatest degree OF
harmony.
A large value attaches to the fran
chises and terminals OF the Ocean
Shore. This may be appreciated more
keenly since the elaborate scheme Of
the Southern Pacific for adequate urban
facilities has been publicly set forth.
1t is not matter of the city'S ability
to finance the Ocean Shore enterprise.
1t is rather a matter of satisfying local
capital as to the sOundness of the In
vestment. That. of course, is a prob
lem for the skilled railroad engineer
and operator.
BANKS MAKE GOOD SHOWING
The banking figures for the fiscal
year will be made public in i few days,
but the information already at hand is
sufficient to give full assurance of a
satisfactory showing Most remark
able. perhaps, has been the gain in saw
ings accounts. The tendency toward
consolidation among the local banks
continues Announcements are ex-
pected soon of two mergers Of more
than passing Importance.
In pursuance of a new policy the ma
tional bank examiners of the Pacific
coast gathered yesterday in Oakland
for general conference. The value OF
such an interchange is apparent.
This has been vacation week on the
stock and bond exchange. but there has
been fair volume of business I'm the
street. Values have stiffened somewhat
since the inanition of last Friday. An
encoura ging feature has been the in
creasing demand for bonds.
The oil list has been lower. Asso-
ciated gave way again after a brief
rally and has been selling freely at
prices ranging from Si4.5O to s45.
