The County Court has beer import
uned several times 10 purchase the
interests of the individual stockholders
in the Winchester Turnpike Company
and remove the toll gates there from
making it free to the public.
at the recent meeting of the court It
was ordered that the toll be liked so as
not to pay dividend on the stock and
10 this action some at least, OF the
stockheldres are entering vigorous
protest
Hou. John ]. Hetzel, who hold a
considerable block of the stock was
seen by representative Of this paper
few days ago and gave the following
Interview:
Mr.. Hetzel was asked: 70 what do
Won attribute the drastic action re-
Gently taken by the County court in
reference 10 the NJ. q w. Turnpike Co?
Ans. sit seems that the sutombile
CLUB of Martinsbur has on several
occasions been before the court asking
for the adjustment Of the toll-gates
and that no toll be collected. 1t seems
that icing moved by these importuni-
ties the court took action on said petit
tion without healing the owners Of
stock other than the county stock
although they had the day before the
passing of the order promised me that
they would hear us before taking any
action"
Ones. Have they ordered that no
tell be collected and the gates abolish
ed!
Ans. "They have done neither, but
ordered the directors representing the
county to vote that no pay be given
the directors and no salary be paid by
any one excepting the Secretary Treas
urer who was to receive SIS per year
and directing not to pay any dividends
and to use the money collected though
tolls for material aud supplies.
Cues. Mr.. Hetzel, do you mind tell
a,.g me what your stock in this corpora
tIoa cost you and how much you own?
Ans. II bought and patio actual
money for IS sharessof stock which has
cost me on average Of S17337 or total
OF STATS .45.n
CUES. What does the court propose
to pay for your stock?
Ans. $50 per share or fetal of $3.50
making loss OF 1925 As to me and in
the same ratio every other stakeholder
ether than the county will lose an
equal amount"
Cues. "What did this stock cost
Berkeley county?
Ans. 81 am informed, not one dol
lar as il was wrenched from the old
state Of Virginia when w. Va, was
formed"
CUES. Did your company pay any
dividends, if so, at what rate3
Ans. "5ome years in my early con-
nection with the company it paid moth
ing, some years two or three per cent
more recently five or six and last year
seven per cent"
Cues. Has the county always re-
ceived its share of the dividends?
Ans. "Yes, of every five dollars
paid, the county has received three
and the other stoct holders two dollars.
CUES. Do you think the action of
the court Is fair and equitable?
Ans. "No, do not. Think the
court is acting under misapprehen-
sion of the facts in the case.n
Cues. Do you propose to accept $40
per share for your stock and abide by
the action of the court?
Ans. 81 certainly will net accept
$40 per share tor my stock but have
offered to take $40 per share which l
think is fair and equitable price.
Ques. What will you do about not
receiving dividcnt provided one is
earned?
Ans. II will cross that bridge at
the proper timeu
