Jay Gould to the Front With Plan
for It's Relief

NEW YORK, June IA plan for the

Gould. 1t includes the pledging of securi-
ties in the treasury of the company
amounting to $4,000, 900, and the issuance
OF collateral trust loan at 50 cents. hay-
ing five years to run and bearing six per
cent. interest, purchasers to receive an
equal amount in stock as a bonus. 1t is
also suggested that a syndicate of eight
or ten members be formed WHO shall
pledge themselves to take what bonds are
not taken by stockholders and upon
the same terms, upon condition that
the members of the syndicate be admitted
to the directory. This plan will ex-
tingLish the floating debt, and also, it is
estimated, will place the company upon a
diyidend-paying basis by July 1, 1885.
Henry Victor Newcomb is reported to
favor the plan, but will not accept the
Presidency. The parties favoring this
plan say that it would not be necessary
TO issue more than SA000,000 in bonds.
