$I50,0O0
First Mortgage q IL per cent
20 YEAR GOLD BONDS
OF THE
Portland Railroad
Company.

Deliverable and payable on or before
June 1st, 1895.
Price l05 and interest yielding net
return of about Al per cent? subject to
advance without,notjce.
These bonds are dated May 1st, 1898,
payable without option twenty years af-
ter date, with interest at Al per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
principal and interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
Of the total authorized mortgage,
$780, 600 bonds are already outstanding,
and $22O,O will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; of this $220, 200, we shall receive
for delivery $50, 600 on or before June
1st, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no move of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1850, and is perpetual. This
mortgage is a first lien on all the fran
chises, rights and property Gncluding
real estate and equipmenD situated in
the Cities Of Portland, Deering and
Westbrook.
The length of track is 20.14 miles,
making the bonded indebtedness less
than $4,000 per mile.
The earnings for 1894 were as fol-
lows
Gross, s2o7, ,552.2
Expenses and taxes, 69,979. Is
Net, s37,572. AZ
Interest, 1922. "a
Surplus, 1928, $50. .OS
It will be noticed first, that the operat-
ing expenses, which included Q new cars,
motors, snow plough, l mile new
track, etc., were over so per cent of the
gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus
this new block of S220, 200, taeice ouer.
1t is conservatiyely estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses tdue to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the
whole Indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at lis to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over $75, 900.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity IN 1879. over what the same
would have costin 1892, is at least $3.50, 900,
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are a legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $l75, 200 of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as a particularly choice invest
ment, returning better income than
any other home security of similar
standing.

tunately for him it caught him near the
ears instead of the neck. He could not
