Extracts from minutes of stockholders meeting
Charles S. Mellen acknowledges that the stock of The New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad Company has shrunk tremendously, but notes that all railroad stocks have fallen and all railroad corporations are subject to attacks from the government. Mellen cannot guarantee what is going to happen but there is nothing to “warrant apprehension regarding the dividends.” Connecticut Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley assures Mellen that as long as he is an honest man he is in no danger of going behind bars, though Mellen notes that determining if a man is honest depends on one’s point of view.
