Further Payment of Interest on Trust Securi-

ties Temporarily Suspended.
The directors of the Central Vermont
railroad company have issued a circular
stating that they have, for the past few
weeks, had under consideration the subject
of some plan or basis which they could
submit and recommend to the various Sc
curity holders of the property as in their
view a just and proper compromise. They
say that "the recent settlement of the vex-
ed questions regarding the Rutland lease,
and the various lltigations forced upon the
property thereby, have happily removed
one serious difficulty and impeachment in
the way of arriving at satisfactory CON-
promise and adjustment between the dit
ferent classes of securities OF the road it.
self While it has been necessary, in &C.
complishing the settlement with the Rut-
land road, to add temporarily largely to
the floating Indebtedness of the trust, yet
the general results obtained thereby will, 1t
is believed, in the end, prove highly bene.
fetal to the trust property" That, having
accomplished this settlement, they have
given their attention to the question of
compromise OF the securities of the road,
and have suggested plan. which they hope
will be accepted by the different classes of
security holders so that it may betully car
red into execution by the list of November;
but that in the meanwhile, and until the
plan has been submitted and so far approx.
ed rs to justify further proceedings to
carry it into full effect, it has been deemed
wise and most likely to produce harmony
of feeling among the security holders gen.
orally, to suspend the further payment of
interest on the trust securities"
