Each party keeps its corporate status while the elevated operator gains use of tracks and equipment, pledges 8 percent dividends, and plans elevated lines from Roxbury to Charlestown with free transfers to surface lines, pending construction after track repairs. The new venture shows capital stock set by law between 10 and 20 million dollars. The Hon. W. A. Bancroft.
