W. N. Offices In Baltimore
Secretary and Treasurer Moved
From New York.

IOh ANO" NJ
The office Of the secretary and treas
urer of the Western Maryland Railway
was moved from New York to Baltimore
on July LIST. l.. F. Zimmerman, who
holds both positions, will make his home
in Baltimore. This Office has been con-
Quoted from New York ever since the
Western Maryland passed from the con-
troll of Baltimore city.
The change is said to be in line with
the policy of President Carl h. Gray to
have all the places of active service un-
der his immediate supervision. 1t is said
to mean that Baltimore, and not New
York, is rapidly becoming the headquar-
tiers of the company both for operation
and for the management of its finances
The board meetings will continue to be
held in New York as most of the board
members are business men of that city.
Mr.. Zimmerman will take the offices
now used by Mr.. Ennes the general su-
perintendent. Mr.. Ennes removing to
Hagerstown.
A party of the directors just complet-
ed an inspection trip oyer the road. AS
result, it is said arrangements have
been made to meet the company's obi
cations in interest and other fixed charges
although the deficit for the year is esti-
mated at 81, 100000 When the deficit
| 4 g., Il, ,Jlal tba rnnH u
behind over So, 900, 000
President Gray has been giving his eff
forts to reduction in the operating cost
of the road and he is making rapid pro-
gress in this direction, is the assertion.
The directors are convinced of this and
the roads hackers are willing to advance
more money for It's needs as result OF
the confidence they have In the final out
come under President Gray's control.
The directors are the roads majority
stockholders. The Rockefeller interests,
Blair & Co the Deutsche Bank and &.
j. Gould together own so per cent of the
outstanding stock. They own practical
ly all of the $l3, 900, 900 of notes due Ju-
ly |, 1915.
Half of the stock cost the holders $40
share in assessment when the road was
reorganized in 1909 and in the following
year they paid SAG share for the other
half, when it was offered to stockhold-
ers. 1t now stands them between sos
and 500 share, although it sell in the
market at around $lS and $40.
1t Is said default will not be permit
ted by these interests, They will put up
the needed money for the present and
are said to have provided for all contln-
gencies up to next November.
Maintenance expenditures for the ten
months of the current year show an In
crease of 1857, 900 over the same period
of last year. Transportation costs have
increased $500, 900. Taxes have increas-
ed Sill 900. But in the face of all these
conditions the directors predict success
full working out of the company's trans
portation and traffic problems. Evening
