GAGE TO BE THE BASIS FOR THE TO-
LEDo ANN ARBOR AND NORTH
MICHIGAN RAILROAD
The basis for the pan OF reorganization or the
Toledo Ann Arbor and North Michigan Railroad
Company will be a 100000 per cent first con-
solidated mortgage. All of the existing first liens
are to be forecosed and considerable progress has
already been made in that direction. The present
first mortgage bo-ds to be funded into the new
mortgage as follows: Grand Trunk hrsts at lis;
North Michigan irsts at 49, Mount Pleasant firsts,
Cadillac and Frankfort division issues at par. and
Lake Michigan frsts at 80. In all cases a certain
amount OF preferred stock will be given for the
arrears Of interest. The consolidated mortgage
bonds to receive preferred stock FOR their par
and accrued The amount Of preferred stock
be issued has not yet been determined. The plan
cOntemplates wipng out absolutely the present
stock. fhe total interest charge under the reorgani-
cation will be s2so0JO. WHICH. 1t is argued, the prop
