Financing.

The American Traction adm Power
Company of indianapolis, a RESPONSE
BILE and well rated concern, has offered
TO take over the capital stock and
build the road, providing all the none,
necessary, provided that the people
living along the proposed route shall
subscribe to sufficient stock TO pay
for the cost of a commercial report,
and location survey and the securing
OF rights of way, franchises, and ter
minal facilities. II has been estimat-
ed that the entire cost of such work
will run between sl75 and 5000 per
mile. In order to raise this amount
in the local territory. the company
has placed on sale sufficient number
of shares of its capital stock, at ten
dollars per share to pay the cost
of this preliminary work. When
this is done, we have an agreement
with the American Traction and Pow
er Company to purchase the balance
Of our stock, and provide the money
for the complete construction and e.
quipment of the road. as may be spe-
Gifted in this commercial report. In
stead Of asking for bonuses and do
nations it has been determined to
raise this amount of money through
stock subscription and the stock
which is offered to local people, is
the same stock that will be pur-
chased by the American Traction &
Power Company, and will participate
in the earnings of the company and
its dividends on the same basis, in
proportion to the amount held.

should get in behind the move with
energy-certainly equal to the less
fortunate cities. This matter will
