RAILROAD TO STOP
BUYING MORE LINES
New Haven Shows Deficit For
Year Of Over S4,OOO,OOO

President Elliott's first annual re-
port to the stockholders of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford, shows
a deficit for the year ending June 30,
1913, of 81 ,127 466. OF, although divi-
dends were reduced from percent to
t percent during the last few months
Of the fiscal year.
A significant part of the report is
the definite statement by Elliott that
the period in which the roads policy
was to buy up adjacent transportation
lines and operate them comparatively
with the New Haven is completed.
In the opinion of the directors,
Elliott declares, the acquisitions were
legally made, but the company, he
continues, has no desire to retain
these investments except in conform
ity with law and sound public policy"

NAMED 1T RAVENNA.
Just When the Ohio Town Was Going
to Be Called Tappan.


to Be Called Tappan.
Shortly after the Revolution Benja-
min Tappan, son of wealthy Boston
merchant and the original owner Of
what is now Portage county. o., en-
tered his fathers tract in the west
and spent the winter there. Other set
tiers Joined him. and a settlement was
begun, which had the dignity of a
town at time when a single log cabin
at each place marked the present sites
of the cities of Cleveland and Buffalo.
The place was one of singular natural
beauty, and the question of a name
soon arose
Now, 1t happend that at this time
younger brother of Benjamin Tappan's
and his wife were in Italy and came
upon the old town of Ravenna. De
lighted with the place, the young bride
expressed to her husband the wish
that somewhere in the new world
there might arise a town worthy to
bear the name of the wonderful old
Italian city.
The husband Immediately thought of
his brother in the Ohio wilds and at
once dispatched a letter in which he
pictured the beauties of the Italian
city and expressed the wish that the
town then arising in the wilderness be
named in its honor.
Many months later Benjamin Tap
pan. despairing Of finding a suitable
name for the town, was about TO yield
to the wishes Of his neighbors and be
stow the name of Tappan upon II
when the letter arrived. So, instead
of Tappan, the town was named RAJ
VIENNA. which name it still proudly
bears.-Ladies' Home Journal
