Mountain advocate., 1917-09-21

Last MONDAY nanu DlllS were
distributed all over the city an
nouncing that there was to be a
mass meeting at the Court house
that night, in the afternoon an
informal meeting was held in the
Parlors of Hotel Jones, but the
meeting was. not attended by the
number that was expected and
it was called off until the meet
ing at 8 o'clock in the evening.
The meeting was called to or
der by Mr.. H. H. Owens who
was later elected permanent
chairman of the meeting, and w.
H. Mcdonald was elected secre-
tary, R. w. Cole, stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting, and in do
ing so made an appeal that was
strong and we'll taken by all, that
the citizens stand together re-
gardless of their politics or relig-
ion, for the betterment of the
city and its surroundings. Mr..
John M. Tinsley, B. B. Golden
and some others made remarks
and pleaded for harmony in the
selection of the candidates for
thecity offices to be filled this
fall.
On motion duly seconded and
carried, the chairman appointed
a committee of five men to meet
with committee to be appoint
ed by the Civic League consist
ing Of five women to draft and
present a platform and resolu-
tions of intentions and to select
and present the names of six men
for the Office of Councilmen and
one name for the office of Mayor.
The chairman appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen as his commit
tee: r. w. Cole. B. B. Golden,
j. A. McDermott, G. w. Tye
ard 7. D. Tinsley; Mr.. McDer-
mott, did not want to serve, so it
was that he made a motion which
was duly seconded and which
and which was put by the secre-
tary that he be excused and that
Mr.. Owens be appointed in his
stead, the motion carried. Mrs.
r. w. Cole, President of the
Civic League, appointed her COM
mittee on Tuesday morning.
This committee met at the law
Office of Black and Owens, on
Wednesday; they will report Sat-
urday night at 7;3O p. m. at which
time the question will be settled
as to who will be the nominees
of the mass meeting.
We can not say what the out
come will be; 1t may be a ticket
that will win the November cleo
ton and it may be that their road
will be set with many dangers
and pitfalls, the ticket named
will have to be one that will hold
all sides as the city is always al
most equally divided when it |
comes to the question of electing
city officers.
Before the meeting was ad-
journed Rev. T. M. Anderson,
made a motion that a committee
be appointed to escort the our
fifty soldier boys to the depot to-
day and bid them Gods speed and
H6fH in the great battles
are destined to take
p the many hardships
will have to endure.
Inc Chairman appointed w. H.
Mcdonald, T. M. Anderson and
Prof. H. M. Oldfield as a COM
mittee on arrangements, and
they will do all in their power to
make it a success.

REORGANIZATION NECESSARY.
Directors Testify Boston & Maine Must
Submit to 1t.

directors IeSt11y Boston q maine MUS
Submit to 1t.
| Boston, Jan. 3.--Norman l.. Bassett Of
Augusta, Me-. director of the Boston &
Maine railroad, testified at the receiver
ship proceedings in the federal court yes.
terday that he believed reorganization
was necessary for the best interests OF
the roads common stock The funda.
mental trouble with the road was its
structure, he said, and the sooner that
was changed the better.
Mr. Bassett voted for the receivership
he said, because he believed the road had
reached the end of it's rope and that it
was impracticable and inexpedient to re-
new the short term notes amounting to
$l3, 100000.
Regarding the Hampden railroads
claim he said he voted to compromise it
because he thought that was the only
practical way of handling it.
Frank p. Carpenter of Manchester, y.
H., also a director, who was unable to
finish his testimony before court ad-
iourned last Friday, was recalled when
court reopened yesterday. His testimony
was similar to that of other directors
regarding their belief in the necessity
for receivership and reorganization.
Conrad w. Croker, counsel for mi
nority stockholders who are contesting
receivership, placed in evidence fnan-
cial statement sent by William j. Hobbs,
vice president of the road, to James w.
Remick of Concord, N. H., last March,
showing an excess of assets over out
standing notes payable at that time of
S6,lS5,073.50.
The evidence was offered, counsel stat
ed, to controvert testimony that there
was deficit claimed by the road OF Sl2,-
$50, 30s on June 80, 1916.
Marcos p. Knowlton, director of the
Boston & Maine in his capacity as a fed
eral trustee of the stock in the road
owned by the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad, was recalled yesterday
afternoon by minority counsel. He said
he could see no prospect of dividends
for common stockholders except through
reorganization, but he objected to the
plan proposed by the directors because
it would increase the interest to be paid
on the bonded indebtedness of the road
and its leased lines by $4,000.
The amount could be saved, in his
opinion, if the leased line interests and
stockholders could agree. A reduction of
rental rates would be a necessary part
of such an agreement, he said.
Mr.. Knowlton was on the stand when
adjournment was taken for the day.
