ate plan for a system OF rapid transit Tor the CITY

Hudson River the New-York and New Haven and
other railway lines" II also proposes central
longitudinal line of four tracks for way trains. II
proposes 10 construct these lines on structures ot
masonry and iron Close mp to the adjoining build
ngs on side and open To the air and hght on
tn. other At Il height of about thirteen feet above
tho streets level allowing all cross streets To pass
under and utilizing the street beneath for heavy

70 RETIRE NATIONAL C0RDAGE BONDS.

HOLDERS SAID NOT TO FAVOR THE SCHEME FOR
SUBSTITUTING FIRST PREFERRED STOCK
If WAS learned in Wall-st. yesterday that the
REORGANIZATION Committee of the National Cordage
COMPANY has "A plan foot by which $6,op0oO Of
the bonds Of the Security corporation would bc
retired The plan is to take these bonds with
the same amount of first preferred stock Of the
National Cordage Company. or of the corporation
which may succeed IT, The National Cordagc Com
pany originally guaranteed per cent interest
the bonds and agreed to provide sinking fund Of
S225 900 n year to be used in redeeming the bonds
: The bondholders have not yet given their consent
q To the exchange The bonds were issued to secure
funds with which to purchase number of mills
These mills said to be worth considerably more
than S6.C000O0. and the bondholders have first
lien upon them. On this account the plan promul-
gated yesterday has not been received with favor
by some of the bondholders. If they take first
preferred stock in exchange for their bonds they
will be second To the new bondholders in case Of
reorganization of the company. one firm. which
holds a considerable amount Of the bonds. has
declared that II will not accept these terms II
reported time after this plan made
known in Wall Street that John Good had offered
TO lease the mills held by the National Cordage
Company rental which would give a fair
return the bonds. As the bondholders have a
first lien on the mills they could force a fore
closure II they desired to do So and would thus
probably secure possession OF the mills.
