In TroubIe-Unable to Meet It's In
/. d~ebtedness and Likely to be Re-
organized.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Wash
ington Traction & Electric Company,
which controls the electric lighting
plants and all the electric railways in
the District of Columbia except the
lines of the Capital Traction Company,
having defaulted in the payment of in
terest due June l on the bonds of the
corporation, a movement for reorgan-
ization of the company has been in
augurated.
The stock and bonds of the company
are mainly owned by New York par
ties. The earning capacity never had
been equal to the demands. The COM
pany was organized two years ago with
a capital of $12. 000. 900 in stock and
$40, 000, 900 in AZ per cent. bonds. Its
property consists of the stocks on
eleven street railroads and two electric
lighting companies in Washington.
The traction bonds are collateral secur-
tiles and not a mortgage bond.
The deficits in the company's reve-
nues have been made good at each sue
cessive period by those largely Inter-
ested and, it is understood, through an
assessment on the stock.
1t is supposed that a floating debt
has thus beer accumulated. Some
conjecture that this form of encum-
branee has reached a million dollars
or more. II Is not known outside of
the how great a gap exists be-
tween the receipts and expenditures.
George w. Young, one of the majority
bondholders, estimated to-day that it
would be four or five years before the
receipts of .ne company on its present
basis would be able to meet the operat-
ing expenses and the fixed charges. To-
days action is attributed by some to
large holders selling out their stick, it
being purchased, it is claimed, by the
Roeblings, of New York.
