Boston who naturally want to help the de-
velopment of the country and of the roads.
| The management of the properties Will
be more than pleased if New England
| bankers, banks and investors will furnish
their full share of the money needed now
and in the future and will assist in OBJ
tanning that money in the markets of the
world.
Arrangements must be made between
now and June l, 1914, to pay off or renew
obligations on the New Haven road of
SAG, 023, $50, and on the Boston and Maine
and Maine Central of $29000,0O0 and new
money should be obtained for use in the
next eighteen months to buy equipment
and make needed improvements-at least
$25OOO,0OO for the New Haven and Sl5,OOO
900 for the Boston and Maine. The total
of these requirements is $115,000,OOO, and
the best financial ability is needed to nan
die the NATTER whether in New England,
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, London,
Paris Berlin or in all these places AL
ready with the aid of bankers in Boston
and New York arrangements have been
completed for obtaining $67 $50, 400 for the
New Haven road. The money is ready

time to meet it's obligations if the public
service commission gives the necessary
authority to the company to issue securi-

NEW England can ana Will nave In6
kind of railroad management and service
to which she is entitled. Payment for this
can be made in three ways-first, by some
increase in rates; second by the stock
holders, who live in the country to be
served, advancing the money; third, by
borrowing the money needed, wherever it
can be obtained.
If and when the money needed is fur
nished, the management proposes to spend
ffagF
properties now owned. The management
proposes to confine it's activities to the
transportation business.
Development of New England.
The complete development of New Eng
lands varied resources has not been ac-
complished. New Englands farms must
be repeopled, and a change is going on
even now. Progressive farmers and i'm
migrants from Europe are teaching a les
son which should be heeded-namely, that
agriculture and horticulture in New Eng
land can be revived and pursued with
profit.
New England has had a glorious past
and has had a wonderful influence in the
development of the whole United States.
She has great influence and power today.
Her loyal, public spirited sons have al
ways taken their full share of the work
in solving the problems of the country.
Her own industrial and transportation
problems will be solved and all obstacles
will be overcome if all will work Loyalty
together for a greater New England, if
all will exercise some of the self denial
and patriotism that Robert Gould Shaw
displayed when he marched away to his
death at the head of his troops to serve
his country first and his family and him
self second.
And so in New England there is no good
reason for doubt and discouragement but
every reason to be steadfast, courageous
and to Sail on, and on and on" and
put New England in even a higher place
than she occupies today morally, physical
ly, agriculturally, intellectually, CONNER
cially, industrially and financially.
