Vicksburg and Meridian Railroad Reorganization Plan Altered
The Vicksburg and Meridian railroad reorganization committee modifies the plan to avoid sale. A new consolidated mortgage covers old bonds with 4 percent for two years and 5 percent for three years. Existing income bonds, preferred and common stock receive new preferred stock valued at ten thousand dollars per mile, with dividends from land sales. If the plan fails, foreclosure sale begins in October.

Shepaug Railroad Sold to William H. Starbuck in New Haven
William H. Starbuck now controls the Shepaug railroad from Litchfield to Hawleyville after purchasing it for about 200000 dollars. The line, finished in 1870, has a capital stock of 299700 and last year earned 68940 with expenses of 64612. An extension to Winsted is likely to compete with the Naugatuck line and align with the Hartford Connecticut Western network. Edwin McNeil, long a controlling figure on the Naugatuck system, may influence the plan.
