The Real Estate Trust Company of Washington, in which a number of local financiers are interested, has been incorporated, with a capital stock of $1,500,000, under the laws of Delaware. The officers of the new company, which were elected at a recent meeting of the stockholders, are H. Bradley DAVIDSON, capitalist, president; H. G. HAMILTON, capitalist, vice president; Eldridge E. JORDAN, president of the United States Trust Company, vice president; John C. DAVIDSON, of Davidson & Davidson, treasurer; J. Walter LONG, secretary and manager; Ellis & Donaldson, general council; Harry E. KARR, Maryland counsel. The directors have not been named, but it has been announced that, in addition to the officers, A. G. CLAPHAM, president of the Commercial National Bank, of Washington, and George C. MORRISON, vice president of the Baltimore Trust Company, of Baltimore, Md., will be among those chosen. The remainder of the directors will be elected at a meeting which will be held this week. There has been a great demand for the stock of the company, and while it was originally intended to issue only $1,000,000 worth of stock at the present time, and to hold the remaining $500,000 in the treasury, the officers may decide to issue all of the stock now. The officers of the Chevy Chase and Great Falls Railway and Power Company, which was incorporated recently by the officers of the Real Estate Trust Company, under the laws of Maryland, have not been announced, but their names will be made known in a few days. The contract for the construction of the railway has not been awarded, but it is rumored that the work will be done by an outside contractor. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
