NAME RECEIVER FOR
Twin MOUNTAIN R.R.
Road Worth More as Junk
Than as Going Con
Germ.

The first step toward winding up
the corporation called the Twin Noun
tain and Potomac Railroad Company
was taken yesterday before Judge
Judge Raymond at a special term OF
Of court when stockholders in the
company and Attorney Remble White
epresenting the Fidelity. Trust Co.
appeared to appoint received to dis
pose Of the railroad tracks, locomo-
tive and eight or ten cars which the
company owns.
The received appointed is ohm j.
Baker The company has been insol-
vent for sometime, the railroad never
having been a paying investment
Most of the stockholders are Fair
mont people with H. L. Heitzelman'
president.
The railroad YVES built from Keyser
to the Twin Mountain orchards, near
Romney and covered about 26 miles.
The Fidelity Company thought this a
good time to foreclose as the steel
rails will bring now $40 a ton over
a s26 ton at time Of purchase. The
company was bonder at 100000.
It IS understood that an Eastern
Syndicate wants to buy the steel, and
other belongings.

preferential rate adjustment here
complained of.
Wherefore, your petitioner re-
specially but earnestly insists and de-
mands that the rate on coal from the
Fairmont district to Baltimore be
made the same as that contemporahe
rously maintained from the Greensburg
district to either Baltimore or Phila-
delphia, whichever is the lower. There
are three ways of bringing about this
reimbursement: ~ by reducing the
Fairmopt district rates to the Green's
burg district basis, which method
would undoubtedly require CORE
spending reductions from fields east
Of the Fairmont district; (2) by ad-
vancing the Greensburg district rates
to the Fairmont district basis, or (S)
by reducing the Fairmont district
rates and advancing the Greensburg
rates to common intermediate basis.
1t is immaterial to your petitioner
which method is adopted"

ing of the petition as yet.

This is a decrease OF 100000 tons

That was a decrease Of 1920, 200 tons
compared with the same time last

himself, falling across bed.
