AN OPEN LETTER As one of the largest stockholders in the Washington Railway and Electric Company, Mr. Noonan asked the right to have copied the list of stockholders from the company’s register. That was refused. Mr. Noonan’s letter, asking the privilege of sending a representative to copy these names, follows: OPEN LETTER Mr. Edwin E. Gruhl, Vice President and General Manager North American Company, No. 60 Broadway, New York City, New York. Dear Sir: Will you not direct Mr, Wm. F. Ham, president of the Wash- ington Railway and Electric Company, to allow me, a minority stockholder, to have a list of the names and addresses of the other stockholders, that 1 may acquaint them with the loss they will sustain through the impending holding company? I am able to take my loss, but I am informed that there are a number of small holders to whom it will mean a great hardship. Very traly yours, il JOHN J. NOONAN. The response to the foregoing request was that none save the stockholder in person might examine the stock register, and Mr. Noonan was denied the privilege of sending a clerk to make the copy.
