TRUST COMPANY SUB
NIITS REOPENINC PLANS
Amendments Filed To Charter
Provide For ReOrgan-
izatiOn

The Elkton Banking and Trust
Company, which has been closed
since the bank holiday last March,
except for new accounts, hopes to be
reopened within the near future.
The amendments to the charter, ap-
proved by the State Bank Commits
sioner, necessary to carry out the
plan of reorganization, have been
filed with the clerk of the court at
Elkton, the bank commissioner and
the State tax commission.
The amendments provide for re-
duction of the capital of the bank
to provide for the reduction of the
par value of the stock from SIS per
share to $3.50 per share. The 9TH
er amendment provides for the issue
by the bank of 100000 of deben-
lures, which may be divided into two
classes. It is proposed to issue
Glass A debentures, amounting to
100000, to which the r. F C. has
been asked to subscribe, and Class B
debentures, amounting to 100000,
which have been subscribed by the
directors, and which will be issued to
the Cecil Mortgage and Certificate
Corporation for the benefit of the
holders of the certificate Of beneficial
interest.
The bank has been working for
the past few months to meet the re-
quirements of the R. F. c., and the
officers and directors believe that
these requirements have been salts
factorily met. The formal applica-
ton has been filed with the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation and
upon it's favorable action, the bank
will be able to reopen, freed of all
unacceptable assets and without any
bills payable.

FUNDS FOR P. R. R.
CONSTRUCTION WORK
Company Gets Grant Of Public
Funds-Work Will Be Re-
Sumed AT ElktOn

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has been granted loan of $S4,-
OO0,0 by the Public Works Admin
istration for electrifying the road
from Wilmington to Washington and
for related improvements.
This will not only mean employ
ment for men working on ths actual
electrification south of Wilmington,
but it will mean more work for the
Pennsylvania Railroad shops in con-
nection with electric locomotives and
it may mean work for plants that
will bid for contracts to construct
the 1872 more electric locomotives
the railroad will need.
The Pennsylvania Railroad line so
far is electrified from New York to
Wilmington. That city is the pivotal
point at the moment. Steam loco
motives are substituted for electric
engines on northbound trains pull
ing in from Washington or Balti-
more, and trains, from New York to
the south, are changed from electric
to steam.
The S84,OO0,00o loan to tie Penn
sylvania Railroad is part of the
S135, 100000 allotment made Friday
by the Public Works Administration
to stimulate capital industries. The
remaining $51,000,000 is to be used
for the purchase of steel rails and
fastenings by number of railroad
companies, as yet unidentified.
In carrying out it's program, the
Pennsylvania Raidroad will! spend
S15,85O,0OO for identification from
Wilmington to Washington: $780,
900 for reconstruction of it's line at
Elkton; $2,611,O0O for widening of
the Baltimore tunnel; $16,525, 1000
for 1872 electric locomotives; $16,-
OOO,O 900 for 1000 freight cars; ST.
0S7, 900 for % multiple unit cars.

to break the spirit of the
farmers by declaring ON the
day before the strike opened,
on July 81, that it would be

he tried to sabotage militant
picketing by striking farm
ers. The farmers have re-
pudiated his sabotage by go
ing out onto the highways
and. sfOpping the shipment of

again attempted to deceive
the farmers by asking ROOse-

Not the least bit of evidence has
been brought forward to support
either report indicating that both
are complete lies. In addition the
stories are being issued that it is
Communist and "reds" who are
striking, not the bona fide dirt

Despite this campaign the
farmers are holding their lines
6derminedly, undaunted by
