necessary to be subscribed by the holders of
the Beerdell bonds by the LIST of July, in or
der to obtain the benefit of the loan of $780,
900 additional authorized by the State, there
have been subscribed only about $250,000,
and there are apprehensions felt that the en-
tire amount necessary to insure the transfer
ill not be obtained within the brief period
named. In case the amount needed to make
the transfer is not subscribed it is probable
that the holders of certificates of indebtness
amounting to $250,000, will take immediate
steps to realize on their claims, and another
serious delay in the organization of the new
corporation will occur.
