Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 25-Receiver
Jump, of Russell Harrison's Street-railway
and Electric Light Company, has filed a
report showing the total Indebtedness to be
$1,33S,517, but of this amount $250,0O0 consists
of bonds issued as collateral security for
some of the floating indebtedness. The fol-
lowing is the statement: First mortgage
bonds, 100000; second mortgage bonds, $542,-
600; interest on bonds, $SSS3; taxes and
street improvement, $62,6S4; floating indebt-
edness, 1926, coo. The receiver has not made
a report of the inventory of the property
because some of the machinery was pur-
chased conditionally and is not fully paid
for. There is also due the Terre Haute COM
pany from s., 600 to $1,000 from the Michigan
City Trolley Company of which Harrison
is president, for machinery and supplies
taken from here, About all of the bonds
are held in New York and other Eastern
cities.
1t is said in explanation that the report
creates an erroneous impression as to $52, 900
for street improvements on which under
the law the company has the privilege of
time payments. The $250,00O bonds issued
for collateral on floating Indebtedness, 1t is
said, should not be counted among the in
debtedneSS.
