ANOTHER TRACTION COMPANY.
This One to Connect Indianapolis and
Cincinnati -- Other Concerns.
The much-talked-of interurban road to connect Indianapolis and Cincinnati was incorporated in the secretary of state's office yesterday under the name of the Cincinnati & Indianapolis Traction Company. The new company's capital -- $10,000 -- seemed incongruous with its announced intention to build a road from Indianapolis through Marion county to Shelbyville in Shelby county, thence through Decatur county to Greensburg, thence through the counties of Franklin, Ripley and Dearborn across the State line to Elizabethtown. O. The officers and directors are: President, J. C. Hoover; vice president and treasurer, C. E. Hoover; secretarv, Stanley Shaffer, and C. O. Richter and Charles E. Heiser, all of Hamilton, O.
The Citizens' Telephone Company, of Zionsville, Ind., filed articles of incorporation, and announced its intention to operate exchanges in Boone, Clinton, Hamilton, Marion, Hendricks and Montgomery counties Tho capital is $10,000.
The Oil Well Supply Company, of Pittsburg, Pa., complied with the foreign incorporation law by filing articles, giving its total capital as $1,500,000, and stating that of this $44,118 is represented in Indiana.
