Company, is to be sold at public auc-

company, will buy in the stock them
selves. They will thus become share
holders in the company along with
the general public who own stock In

Although 30 per cent OF the holders
Of this stock have indicated their
Willingness to have IL sold at public
auction the committee plans to give
the other 10 per cent a chance to
state whether they desire it sold or
not.
Touching on the situation with re-
gard to the traction company at the
present time the committee decided
that some sort OF relief should be
given the company at the present
time, in order that it may make the
necessary repairs to its roadbed and
equipment before 1t becomes dilapi-
dated and the cost of such repairs
becomes prohibitive.
Some facts brought out at the
meeting were that the Capital Trac-
tion Company increase IN gross re-
eeipts in 1918 over 1915 were over
times as great as
those OF the Washington Railway and
Electric Company.
The meeting was attended by the
