accumulated surplus. This surplus was car
ried I'm the last annual report of the fiscal
year ending December 81, 1915, as s32,-
5S6,149.
Mr. Bodine was asked II he could account
in any way for the sharp advance in the
company's stock. He said he did not know
of any reason and he went on to say that
he did not pay any attention to the move
ment of the stock and all that he worried
about was the business. In speaking fur
ther OF the strength of the stock, he ex-
plained that when some brokers get togeth
er to boost a stock II goes up and the re-
suits In this direction usually give rise to
the reports
LIE" SAYS MAYOR SMITH
Mayor Smith branded the story as n lie
without any foundation.
There is absolutely no truth in the state
ment that the city intends TO extend the
United Gas Improvement Companys lease
OF the city gas works after 1927" he said.
There IL absolutely nothing that would
tend TO show that the city has any intention
whatever of so doing. Nothing like 1t has
even been suggested to me and none OF the
uepartheHt neAus mas any knowledge that
any such plan was under consideration.
There is no foundation TO that story,
and you can't make my denial too strong"
NEWS TO GAFFNEY
Joseph T. Gaffney chairman Of Councils
Finance Committee said:
II have heard nothing of any new con-
tract with the u. G. l.. and | do not credit
the report that any such contract is being
contemplated IL any such move was under
way think would have heard of it, II
strikes me that this is simply n case OF
somebody trying to boost their wares"
Another report which was In circulation
was that the company may take steps to
repurchase the Connecticut and Rhode Island
trolley system. This was sold TO the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
several years ago. II was figured by some
that the company would issue new stock
to take care of the purchase, and in doing
this some of the large surplus would be
utilized.
