Report of the President of the
sequachee Valley Coal & Iron Co.

70 THE STOCKHOLDERS:
Another year of inactivity and de-
preston has passed, and we find our,
selves further from the goal Of our
desires than ever. Your directors
have made strenuous efforts to dis
pose of your property or an interest
therein to parties who would deyel-
ope it, and failing to do so, have en-
deavored to interest stockholders and
others in plans for deyelopmentalono
the lines especially Of agriculture and
colonization, but without success
There has been a marked depress-
ion in the value or selling price Of
real estate, and it is probable that il
forced to sell to-day NE could hardly
realise the amount of our bonded in
debtedness. We still believe in its
intrinsic and ultimate value. But
the time seems to have come when
we must seriously consider whether
we are not compelled to surrender
the property to the bondholders.
1t will be seen by the treasurer's
report that the income of the Coal q
Iron Co. Is very small, in fact not
sufficient to pay the taxes, to say
nothing of necessary expenses for the
care and protection OF the property
There is no prospect, without devel-
opment Of the propertg, which takes
money, OF an increase in income.
We can not lease the mountain lands
for farming purposes, ana there Is
no other source of immediate income
except from timber. We have here
toforp refrained from selling timber
TO any extent, being unwilling to de
preciate the valae OF our property,
But neither stockholders nor bond
holders should complain if we sell
nough to pay taxes and other absoI-
utely necessary expenses. We have
felt obliged recently to give our a
gent authority to sell some timber for
these Lurposss. But such course
cannot be continued indefinitely.
The properly OF the Town & I'm
provement Co. is in better conditions
than ever before, there being
more acres under cultivation
and Improvement. Our crops
the last season were large, and We
had every expectation OF being able

TO more than meet all our ordinary
expenses from the income Of our
lands. But the exceedingly low
price Of our products has disappoint-
ed us. With corn at 30 cents and
potatoes almost unsaleable at any
price, these being our principal crops
we have been unable to realize. At
prices ruling for several years prev
ious we should have made hand
some showing.
Our vineyard, now increased to
fifteen acres, has made very pr0mis-
inc growth, and we confidently ex-
pect 10 show excellent results from
the first six acres which come into
bearing the coming season. We
have endeavored, through our agent
Mr.. Sherman, to interest our stock
holders in grape raising, which we
believe would be profitable and tend
greatly to enhance the value of the
remaining lands, but without success,
scarcely any responding tc our APP
peals.

The bank holding NOR gage for
$4,000 on our town lands has called
on the sureties to pay the note. The
stockholders mus4 make provision
for its payment or be prepared to
see the property so out Of its possess
ion. -Four Of your directors are sur
cites on this note, and fearing that IN
the process Of foreclosure some com
plication might arise between them
and the company, they will decline
to serve longer as directors. 1t Will
be your duty to chose others in their
stead.
The directors have been unable to
devise any feasible plan for a re-or-
ganlzation Of the company, especial
y considering the manifest want Of
interest on the part Of the otockhold-
ers, and the continued depression in
business. Several of them have
made very considerable personal sac
rifices in endeayoriug to keep the
company aflo4t, but the time has
come when they can no longer afford
to do 50.
This report is submitted with the
hope that the stockholders may be
able to devise some means to extri-
cate the company from Its Difficult
ties.
