AGAIN REVIVED.

a Current Claim Against it VIII be
Pressed for Payment-TerminalO OFF,

on Foot.

NATURE OF THE PLAN.
The proposition provides in some way for
the permanent assumption of the float
ing debt by syndicate, probably
of creditors, who will be secured
by deposits Of all the collateral now
in the treasures of the various companies.
OF these the Georgia Central has floating
debt of $3,750,O00 and securities
in its treasury Of the par
value of s2O,OOO,OOO. The Richmond and
Danville has floating debt of 81 100000.
The floating debt of the East Tennessee road
is not definitely known. but it is believed to
be very large. The Richmond Terminal
itself has floating debt of $500, 1000, bor-
rowed on $4,000 state OF Georgia bonds.
Nearly all of the debt is on TINA loans, and
it IS claimed that the company, il market
could be found for its securities. could pay
off the entire amount without trouble.
