English Investors Interested.

A great deal of interest has been
manifest in the very recent visit of
c. w. Burton of London. England, to
the tri-cities. 1t has become known
that he was here in the interest OF
holdings Of English investors in the
securities OF the Tri-City utilities
company. 1t may not be generally
known, but the stocks of the Tri-City
Railway and Light company are wide
ly distributed, the preferred stock
being held, however, largely in the
tri-cities and the New England states.
It would seem that the prospects
for substantial growth in population
in this locality has caused the Eng
fish investors to take a second look
at these local securities, and they sent
Mr.. Burton on to make arrangements
to take over the holdings of those who
find it convenient to liquidate at
prices acceptable to the purchasers.
Indeed, it is understood that he was
able to secure some of it though there
