In that event the Port land stockholders would be, at liberty In ri.iinnsa.of their tock lndlviduaJlV as they saw fit. While the majority of the stock in the gas company is owned in New York, the management of the com pany has been in the hands of Portland people, C F. Adams being president of the company. - ' v ' While admitting that there has been talk of a sale to the Electric Bond & Share company, Mr. Adams -declares that no sale has yet been effected.
