1t is not improbable that .the refunding
OF the floating debt Of the Baltimore e.

formation OF a new system to be known us
the Baltimore & Ohio Northwestern. The
proposed collateral trust loan will proba-
bly, amount TO s12.0oO.cOo instead OF $1,000 900
as at first estimated, the greater part OF 1t
being intended to fund existing debts and
the balance to provide for needed improve
ments on the entire system. To carry out
this arrangement IL is intended to form,
t is said, the Baltimore & Ohio Northwest
ern system out OF the various small
branches running from Pittsburg to Chica-

The Pittsburg x Western branch will be

The scheme provides that new bond be

will be sold to pay off the company's debts
incurred by these lines. Another interest
