An official of the L., N. A. & C. RR. informs the New Albany Ledger that at the recent meeting of the [stockholders and directors of the road in New York, a policy was adopted that looks to the immediate improvement of the road and the payment of all floating indebtedness. The betterments are to include the ballasting of the track, and the addition of a number of locomotives and several hundred freight cars. The owners of the L., N. A. & C. are among the wealthiest men of New York, who are abundantly able of themselves to make the Monon a first-class property and who intend to do so. To this end the recent changes in officials of the road were made. Mr. Dow.d, the new president, has had a goon deal of experience in railraad management, while Mr. J. B. Carson, the vice-president and general manager, is noted as one of the energetic, and successful, and practical railroad men in the country. Both these gentlemen accepted their present position upon the distinct understanding that the owners of the road would put up one and a half to two millions of tlollars to put the road in first-class condition in both track and equipment. Mr. W. S. Baldwin, the general passenger agent of the company, is also a railroad man of national reputation, and has been brought into the L., N. A. & C. on account of his ability, and in view of the new era in the company’s affairs and management. Nearly the entire stock and nearly all the bonds of the road are held by its New York owners, and they absolutely control its affairs. There is no disagreement among them in regard to the new policy to be adopted, and therefore not the slightest probability they are going to give up their own management of the property to a receiver. The company has employed competent attorneys to especially adjust all questions of a legal character pending between the company and clasmants —such as damaghs from injuries received in accidents, claims for stock killed, and rebates claimed by shippers, it being the purpose of the management to adjust such matters as early as practicol. That the road has suffered in its business from the soreness, so to speak, of sucn claimants, is undoubtedly true. — Gne of the officers said the aim of the present management is to make everybody who is directly or indirectly a patron of the road feel kindly toward the company ond interested in its prosperity.
