Purdy to Retire as Rail Line Hints New President
An unconfirmed dispatch from New York says William B. Leeds may become president of the Ubicaxo, Rock Inland & Pacific Railway on January 1, 1902. Leeds, vice president of the Tinplate Company, is allied with the Moore brothers and D. G. Reid of the United States Steel circle, signaling possible Moore-led control of the road. Purdy, in poor health, could have stayed on but has long contemplated resignation after joining the line in 1867 as bookkeeper.
