their report to Congress, say the Union

wholly reimbursed from the proceeds of
Government bonds and first mortgage bonds,
and that from the income bonds and land
grant bonds, the builders received in cash
value at least $23, 100000 as profit, being
percentage OF about 4S per cent. on the en-
tire cost of the road. In the opinion of the
Committee, the Company had no right, as
against either its creditors or the minority
of its stockholders, to distribute any por
tion of it's capital as dividends. Still more
unjustifable was it to squander in dividends
money borrowed of the Government, or on
first mortgage bonds. There is no evidence

of the Road, and the Committee see no way
in which those who hold stock which they
have bought in good faith can be disturbed.
