Reports were current in the financial
district Tuesday that the cOntrolline
interest in the Algicrs RAILWAY and
Lighting Company a subsidiary of the
New Orleans southern and Grand Isle
Railway. had been purchased by At
torney Barnard. in Toronto. for Can
adam capitalists.
This property is in the hands OF a
Federal receiver, and the purchase. it
is said. has nothing to do with the
plans Of the New Orleans syndicate for
the operation OF the Grand Isle Rail
road and the development OF Grand
Isle as a great surf bathing resort.
There were rumors that this property
might be acquired by the American
Cities Company. but these were given
a Quietus by President Hush McCIos-
key Tuesday.
The American Cities Company has
nothing at all to do with the purchase
of the control of the Algiors Railway
and Lighting Company. if such
control has been acquired. We
do not know anything about that
deal" said Mr. McCloskey. The
reports that the American Cities
has plans to take over the Grand Isle
road are also unfounded."
