THEBELT4 nNE. RAILWAY
Petition Of American Security and Trust
Company fs. Permission to Sell.
Receiver Schoepfss Answer Filed
Date of HeaRinE Set and Report
of Operatioms Required.

The petition Of the American Security
and Trust Company praying for authority
to sell the Belt Line railroad under the
terms of deed of trust given to secure
payment of 100000 of bonds of the COM
pany, was set for hearing today week by
Judge Cox this morning
1t will be recalled that several days ago
the American Security and Trust Com
pany, trustees of the bondholders, applied
to Judge Cox for permission to execute
the trust by selling the property of the
company, which includes both the Belt and
18th street lines The court was Informed
that the interest on the bonds, due and
payable July l. 1897, was in default and
permission was asked of the court to make
the sale. Judge Cox directed Receiver
thortty to sell should not be granted. and
this morning in Equity Court NO. !, Mr..
John Ridout, representing Mr.. Schoepf
filed an answer.
The Receivers Answer.
The receiver submits that the sale. if one
should be directed, should be made by
trustees appointed by the court. But it is
urged that the sale ought not to be ordered
because the roads are about to be equipped
with air motors, permission having been
granted therefor by the District Commits
s1oners. And should a sale be ordered, it
was submitted that one by trustees ap-
pointed by the court would attract more
bidders and would result much more adj
vantageously. 1t was also pointed out by
the receiver that the sale is asked under u
second deed Of trust. prior one being for
$4,000. 1t was also suggested by Mr..
Schoepf, in the event of a sale being or
dered, that the two lines be sold separately.
Priority Of Expenses. -
Mr.. RiGout submitted that the receiver
has incurred expenses which should have
priority over the claims Of the bondholders,
and he doubted that the trustees could give
good title.
Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson, of counsel for the
hondholders, stated that all have agreed
that there should be a sale of the property,
and they were quite willing and ready to
take decree for sale and assume all
responsibility in the matter of title. At
his suggestion, however, Judge Cox set the
whole matter down fer a hearing next
Thursday, and directed Receiver Schoepf
to submit meantime Il report covering his
receivership up to the LIST instant.

reports of the damage done 10 that resort
