The Rowland Falls Pulp Co.. whose
voluntary proceedings in insolvency were
announced some months ago. and whose
reorganization has been attempted for
some weeks past. has finally been re-
formed uDon a new basis. The original
proposition was for the admission of all
former stockholders after the payment of
a 20 per cent. assessment upon their ORR
ginal holdings. This was found to be i'm
possible owing to the indispostion of cer-
tain stockholders to enter the plan, and
another line of reorganization was pro-
posed and was successful. About two
thirds of the original stock is represent
ed in the new company which has been
named the Rowland Pulp Co.: the certi-
hcate has BEEN filed with the secretary
of State and was approved, March 5. The
reorganization of the company was eff
fected at Portland. a few days ago. The
rev capital stock is stated at $4,000 of
which 1920 is paid in. The new officers
are: President. Elisha T. MARVEL, Rock
land. Mass: treasurer Isaac l.. Blan-
chard. Avon. Mass. Most of the Bangor
stockholders have gone into the new COM
panv. Nothing can yet be said of the
definite plans of the new corpora ton. 1t
has not yet had time to acquire any of
the property of the Rowland Falls Pulp
Co. and until that time no announcement
of a conclusive or accurate nature can
be made. The date of the opening of
operations will be governed wholly by the
state of the pulp market.
