To TIE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE Il. 4 NJ. l.. Il.
R-Eight years ago you elected the present direct
to take charge of the business of vour road.
We found it in Il deplorable financial condition.
Embarrassed by numerous law suits, involving Sey-
eral hundred thousand dollars, encountered by
first mortgage of $l50,o0O second of sos, 200,
note due Belfast city of Sl0l 800, and floating debt
of over $250,0o0, with clamorous creditors every
side. To day we congratulate you upon its improv-
ell financial condition. The floating deJt is paid the
city note reduced to SS1,900, with over $60O00O of
available assets IN our Treasury; second mortgage
generously given up by preferred stockholders by
request and our last law suit, that of Brooks
decided in our favor. In short clear sheet and
plain sailing for our successors. Our financial plan
has been, after providing for interest due ON first
mortgage and city note, to pay floating debts, then
after providing sinking fund for the maturing city
note due in $3.50, to divide balance of funds among
The preferred stockholders. Any other division Of
meney, would, believe, be unjust to those
preferred stockholders. For let remember that
when they surrendered their bonds, and passed
coupons we promised them faithfully their rights
should not be preju'ticed or impaired thereby and
the city stock sacredly pledged to this PROMISE
We earnestly commend this policy. We have per
sued their judgment, as the very best and heartily
urge its adoption by which in 1885 the debts of your
road will all be extingushed save the first mortgage
of $1,000 due i'll 1890. Fer detailed report of
finances, we refer to the Treasurers report.
