G. w. Bum, general counsel of the
Northern Pacific at ST. Paul was in
conference with President Miller and
the Burlington attorneys during the
day at Mr.. Miller's office here and
Howard Elliott, president of the North

return from New York on Saturday.
Mr.. Miller, however, declined to en-
terrain the reports of a merger.
The purchase of the Burlington by
the two roads in 1901 actually paid
for itself as the Burlington stock was
acquired at $500 share and exchang-

follows:
To The Voters of Keokuk, Ia.:
Because of my deep interest
in the best future welfare of
z Keokuk I wish to take this
method of asking you to sup
port the Proctor franchises to
be voted upon by you.
Some years ago you granted
two franchises to me, and
these I have turned over to
Stone and Webster, without
any return whatsoever except
the dollar named in the trans
fer papers.
My Investigations h ave
shown me that an investment
in a public utility in cities oi
the size of Keokuk up to thir
ty-fve thousand population
are not attractive to me, ane
for this reason I am not finan
cially interested in Messrs
Stone and Webster's option tt
take over the local properties
j AS Keokuk grows, Of course
the business will become prof
table, but some years mus
first elapse.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-06-01

Regarding the use of Mr..
Proctor name instead o.
Stone and Webster, this is the
usual program for such tran
sactions, and I am authorized
to say that if Stone and Web
ster exercise their option to
purchase the railway and light
ing plant from the present
owners and you grant the
franchise it will be assigned to
a new company, to be originat-
ed in and managed by Stone
and Webster. If Messrs. Stone
and Webster do not exercise
the option to purchase-then
according to the provisions of
the franchise your action will
become null and void.
I sincerely trust that the
vote for this franchise will be
practically unanimous, as such
unanimity will, I am sure, give
Stone and Webster special
courage to go ahead and make
/ the utilities here a fine adver-
tisement for the New Keokuk
