its scolds and its dissatisfied element,
which are always the greatest hindrance

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT.

The conditions TO which the creditors aud
stockholders of the Railroad Company are
requested TO give their assent, and which
must all be complied with before the plan
can be put into operation, are believed to be
entirely reasonable. In explanation of their
necessity the following statement is respect
fully submitted
1t isObvious that the large floating in
debtedness of the company must be found in
some permanent form before the receivership
can be terminated. At the present time,
and in the present condition Of the company,
this can only be done by an issue OF bonds
bearing per cent interest at a discount but
the interest upon the new bonds will be
much less than the previous cost of carrying
the floating debt The average charges paid
during the year 1892 upon the floating debt,
including commission on renewal, amounted
to over per cent per annum, the interest
upon equipment notes amounted to about ~
per cent. per annum; and the principal loan
upon the per cent tWenty-year collateral
trust bonds of 1892 was obtained under a
contract which gave the lender an option TO
take them at 524 per cent. of their par value.
A large saving in the annual charges of the
company will, therefore, be effected if this
Indebtedness can be refunded as proposed,
and large amounts Of third preference bOuds
and other securities, now pledged and liable
TO sale, will be redeemed and returned TO the
treasury Of the company.
1t is equally obvious that the floating in
debtedness is of a character which must for
the most part be provided for under any plan
of reorganization.
The unsecured indebtedness upon open
account, and now overdue, incurred for
and supplies, or In the purchase OF
