Northern Pacific receivers to lease the
lines and operate them. The so-called
"western committee" left st. Paul Tues

leases with the various companies. The
leases provide that the receivers are to
take possession of the property, pay all
the expenses and turn over any surplus
in the earnings to the Farmers Loan
and Trust company. Judge JenAine
made special inquiry about the. clause
providing for the payment OF deficiencies
by the receivers. William Neleou Orom-
we'll explained to the court that the ques-
tion Of paying deficiency was a matter
of small importance compared with the
benefits to be derived from the leasing of
the lines He said that the 22 roads
constitute nearly half of the Northern
Pacific system and give it a thErd of it's
business. The main line, he explained,
would earn S5,O00OOO year from the
branches, and the receivers could we'll at
ford to pay deficiency of 100000 or
500, GOO il it should occur. There was
bonds to the amount Of $60,O0O,00G on
ths branch lines, ..-e said, on which no
interest had been paid for year or two
and none cossusAs pa'd in the immediate
future, and tha!eqsivers got the benefit
of that investment.
