Negotiations have been in progress for
few weeks whereby it was designed to
sell the property of the Burlington
County Transit Company to a party
whose name is at present withheld.
Sufficient to say that the wouldbe pur-
chaser is financially able to buy the road
and to spend a large amount in improve
ments SO that the system will be one
that will be commended instead of be-
ing condemned The requisite number
of pledges of stock to complete the deal
were secured yesterday and it is expected
that the entire transaction will be COM
pleted within the next four weeks.
When the necessary transfers have been
made work will be begun at once on the
roadbed and new cars will be put into
service.
