SOUTHERN STOCKHOLDERS APPROVE BIG BOND ISSUE

A meeting of the stockholders of the Southern Railway Company was held yesterday at the general meeting of the stockholders of the Southern Railway Company, held in its offices in The Times-Dispatch Building. This opposition was led by C.H. Vernier, of New York, a stockholder, who made a motion to adjourn at the opening of the meeting. The motion was defeated, however, by a vote of 1,500 shares to 700 shares.

John Stewart Bryan, of Richmond, then offered a resolution approving the plan of the directors, which was adopted with little or no discussion. The stockholders simply approved the new financing plan as recommended by the board of directors for the creation of a new refunding and improvement mortgage, which will be limited to $500,000,000 outstanding at a time. The plan for the financing must now be worked out by the directors, and the directors adjourned to meet again on January 10 to approve the final plan.
