Another chapter Is being enacted In he battle for a receivership for the Alton Gas Electric nnd the present conflict, it would seem, is be ng waged some distance from the 'oiks who nro served and who pay This time It is the bondholders committee ot the Alton. Granite St. Louis Traction Co. who are assailing attorneys for the North American ''o. for alleged efforts to halt receiver ship proceedings for the local gas and electric company.

The North American owns the stock of the East St. Louis Suburban Railway the parent company of ho Alton-Granite, but It does not control the bonds. The Alton-Granite, as Alton people know, is in receivership. The North American attorneys are assailed in satirical terms in a clrcu ar letter sent out by the bondholders' committee. The committee sents those holding the first consolidated mortgages 5 per cent bonds.

A Complicated Lineup The reason tor the far-flung tleup with the Alton gas and electric firm Is that the receivership Is sought, parti ally, at least, to have the property of the Alton Gas Electric included In the security for the traction com pany bonds. At one time, It is as sorted, the gas properties were includ cd In the security. Boiled down, the bondholders do noi want the North American to proven the addition to the security for their bonds. And the North American Co. not holding the bonds but the stock a company In receivership, la, accord ing to bondholders' allegatin, fighting the receivership.
