REORGANIZING The READING.
Five Million Dollars Have Already
Been Placed in Philadelphia on Coal
Accounts-Plans for the Future.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5-Au after
noon paper says: The revised plan for
the reorganization of the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad will shortly be
issusd--probably in a day or so. 1t is
being withheld pending the satisfac-
tory completion Of negotiations for dis
posing of the floating debt. Ii is
known that 5000, 900 have already
been placed in Philadelphia on the coal
and coal accounts The intention Of
the plan is to raise enough money to
pay off the Speyer loan The release
by the finance company of the Reading
collateral, which it now holds, will
provide sufficient funds for that pur-
pose.
There will be no assessment upon
either the stock or preferred income
bonds. This may be regarded as a GER
tainty. Working capital will be pro-
vided by having the general mortgage
boudholders fund tbeir'coupons for five
years. The net earnings of the company,
which would otherwise be paid out
for interest will then be available for
current needs and permanent improve.
ments The next provision of the plan
suggests the only real difficulty, 1t
is said that the holders OF the three
classes Of preference income bonds,
aGgregating S5S 0OO, 600. will be asked
to waive the clause in their bond which
obligates the company to pay interest
If it has been earned.
While all capable fnsuciers agree
that the Reading cannot be success
fully reorganizsd except on this basis.
it is a serious question as to whether
the preferences income hondholders will
view it in that light.
