understood that the plan Of reorganization

stockholders whersat the majority owner
ship Of the stock is disfranchised and simply
notified the directors that we would
not be bound by such plan.
We have no information or knowl-
edge of the details Of said plan, but
understand that it sacrifices the value of
the stock held by the Terminal Company &,
for which s7,500,000 was paid. We will
cordially promote any plan Of reorganiza-
tion of that property which will
equitably protect the interests in
our charge. but will not
submit these interests to be adjudicated by
q meeting wherein We are dstranchised, +,
nor be compelled 10 accept q plan Of reor-
ganization in which as majority stookhold-
ers, we have no voice nor representation on
the board of directors. having been prohib-
tied from voting at their election. The
step taken was in necessary protection Of
the interest we repregentedn "

engineer of the Georgia road, and also
joint receiver of part Of the Richmond aud
Danville in 1875. Col. Grant was an hon
ored and useful citizen for half a century
