Reliable information was given out
here this afternoon that there will be
meeting of the board of directors OF

at New York next Wednesday, and 1t
Is understood that at that time definite
action will be taken with reference 10
the proposed extension Of that line to
Admission.
The proposed extension Is to be made
from Tredegar by way of Jacksonville,
the route having been thus surveyed
about three years ago. Vice President

taken over the proposed route for the
