St. Louis, Mo., April 24.—Recent
rumors that the Missouri Pacific is
seeking, through the Gulf Coast
lines, to acquire the San Antonio,
Uvalde & Gulf Railroad, have been
confirmed by President L. W. Bald-
win of the Missouri Pacific System
Lines. “The Missouri Pacific and al-
lied system lines want the property
to round out the system and espec-
ially to provide adequate and depen-
dable service between the Lower Rio
Grande Valley and San Antonio, over
its own rails,” President Baldwin’s
statement says in explanation of the
situation.
“The securities of the S. A. U. &
G. are held in two blocks of 48 per
cent and a third block of 4 per cent,”
the statement continues, “The Mis-
souri Pacific through the Gulf Coast
Lines, has obtained an option on one
of the large blocks and the small
block, which will, if acquired, give
the Missouri Pacific system Lines 52
per cent of the securities and con-
trol of the property. It is our in-
tention to immediately apply to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
authority to exercise the option.”
When the necessary (authority is
obtained and the control of the prop-
erty is acquired, the Missouri Pacific
System will be in a position to de-
velop and provide improved service
between San Antonio, and the Lower
Valley. This will have the effect of
placing the city of San Antonio in
direct touch with the Lower Valley
and the Mexican gateway at Mata-1
moras. This will, naturally, prove |
of advantage to both the city of San /Think of it! 1
Antonio and the lower Valley, and to comfortable feet!
the Missouri Pacific System interests j fer another day from tired, achiaf
and will also prove of very great feet, weak and fallen arches,
benefit to the intermediate points be-
tween San Antonio and the Valley.
Should the acquisition be author-
ized, it is hoped and anticipated that
the remainder of the securities can
be acquired on a mutually satisfac-
tory basis.
This statement is in line with
President Baldwin’s announced in-
tention and promises to do whatever ju,sted' to meet your individual
quirements.
