lutte control Of it, management. These
preferred shares-limiied in amount -
they will be BY speci6c mortgage-will
be : mach more desirable investment
than the higher sounding securities
which they replace. The business Of the
Company 10 materially embarrassed BY
the present condition Of its indebted
ness. No party is wiling to step tor
ward and relieve its necessities, under
the existing complication of its affairs.
The interests Of all its creditors, there
fore, demand an early adjustment of its
liabilities upon some satisfactory basis.
The floating debt, secured and unse-
cured, has been incurred for the compile
ton of the road after the failure of the
Company; for it, equipment with loco
motives and..cars,:and for labor and mate
rial for working the line, during vain
effort to preserve the credit Of the Com
pany by the payment Of the interest
upon its securities. The amount due
for labor and materials cons flutes nesr-
~ the whole OF the unsecured floating
debt, and is Of that character which
seems to demand the consideration of
all interested. The application of the
net proceeds of the road that can be
spared from the protection Of its pledged
bonds, flor the time stated in the plan,
will remove these obligations. This
plan Of adjusting the Company's indebt-
edness is submitted, under the full con-
viction that its adoption will promote to
the greatest extent the interest of all OF
the creditors of the Company, while it
requires no concessions from any inte-
rest for which there is not, in our opin-
ion, an ample equivalent granted.
