FINANCE
The Company met its maturing obhga'
tions, including S., 100000 Equipment
Trust Certificates. During the year an
additional amount Of $1,4oo, 200 was bor-
rowed from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to build cars, and this, to-
gether with the $27,5oo.o 900 borrowed dur
ing 1881, was paid of.
To enable the Company to complete its
electri6cation program, financial arrange
ments were made with the United States
Government, through the Public Works
Administration, for loan Of $45.ooo.ooo
for the electri6cation work; $15.ooo.o 600
for electric locomotives, $17.ooo.ooo for
the purchase Of $500 all>steel box cars,

will issue 80 Year Secured 40 Serial Bonds
and for the steel rails 10 Year Secured 40
Serial Notes, secured by collateral from the
CompanV's treasury. These securities will
be sold to the Government. The equipment
will be purchased through the issue Of

the line between Wilmington and Potomac
Yard, south Of Washington, complete sta-
ton at Newark, make further progress on

stations and other electrical equipment
to take care of the freight business and to
purchase freight and passenger locomotives.

large expenditures, already made for these
purposes, may be realized. This is the
work to be financed, as stated above.

Presidents National Recovery program,
and to provide, through Government Coz
operation and through expenditures from
its own funds. powerful stimulus to the
revival Of business and employment.

such a system, ut the next session
OF the legislature.

At the present time the various

tho townors turn in their cars bo-
foro the date for listing on tho

buy new cars after tho listing
period has passed. In this way
they escape tho personal property
tax because at the time for listing
they are actually without any such
property.
The assessors are now making
up their lists for signing next
month. Under the law oil Water
bury property owners must visit
the office OF the assessors during
June and sign their 1894 lists. This
record will form the basis OF com
putting the appropriations and tax

Faced with sole responsibility for

sought to share the onus with
France and Italy by inviting those
two countries to abrogate the
Washington treaty, according to
a Reuter- dispatch from Tokyo.
Foreign Minister Koki Hirota,
according to the telegram, sum-
moned the italian ambassador and
the French charge d'affaires to
the foreign office, and explained
to them Japan's motives in her in

WE'D AFTER
40 YEARS

Absence surely does make the
heart grow fonder-and not fonder
of someone else. This old adage
works out we'll in the case of Lewis
Beck, of the United States Mar
shal's office and Mrs. nellie Towne.
These two becameengaged 40
years ago in the town of Winifred,
Kansas.
Mr.. Beck was then about %
years old and his fiance was 18.
The young lady's father thought
Lewis and the girl too young and
he put the old parental foot right
down hard on the engagement.
Mr.. Beck joined a circus and
when he returned his sweetheart
had disappeared. Eventually she
married someone else. So did he.
Last spring he went travelling
and one of those circumstances
occurred which delight the hearts
of all true romances. Mr.. Beck
found his sweetheart in California
a widow.
And so they were married her
today by Justice Let's and, it is
predicted, will live happily ever
after.
