No Important Business Transacted at
Yesterday’s Meeting.
‘ The adjourned meeting of the stock-
holders of the VVestport & Saugatuck
Electric Street- Railway Co. was held
yesterday, but no business was trans-
acted. Vice President Nash called
the meeting to order, and stated that
the out of town parties had suggested
another postponement for a few days,
as they still had some matters under
consideration relative to the sale of
the road.
Mr. Nash stated that he had assur-
ances that everything would be in
readiness to proceed at the next meet-
ing, and it was voted to adjourn for
two weeks. There appears but little
change in the sentiment of the resi-
dents as regards the probable purchas}
ers. It is hinted in some quarters that
the Bridgeport Traction Co. as a cor-
poration is not after the road. It was
confidently expected that yesterdayfs
meeting would settle the matter, and
the name of the new owners would
come out. There was a conferences.
few days ago in New York -of the out-
side parties who will eventually secure
the franchise, and while it is under-
stood no question was raised over the
price, there was a difference regarding
some other feature that it was thought
best to thoroughly understand before
the sale was consummated. ‘
,Just what the difference was is a
matter of private concern, and no one
any knowledge of it. One of the offi-
cials of the road stated that he was in
a position to know that an early agree-
ment was probable, and by the next
meeting the horizon cleared. In the
meantime the identity of the intending
purchasers is kept in the background}!
Whoever they may be, they are seem-
ingly desirous of proceeding cautiously.
The capital stock of the road is $40,000:
since the introduction of electricity as
motor power, its earnings have increas-
ed somewhat, but not sufficiently to
make the road a paying investment.
It is known that the stockholders are
willing to dispose of it as they consider
it an elephant on their hands. As a
distinct line operating within itself it
is a losing enterprise, but as a continu-
ation or branch of one of the adjacent
lines, either in Bridgeport or Nat-walk,
it could be made profitable.

This is an evidence of what Wall street
