MUST EXPLAIN ISSUE.
No Permission for $50, ,00o, 900 One
Obtained by Central.
EBs Telegraph TO Tbs Tribune


Albany Feb 7-Offcials of the New YORK Cen
t-al have been directed to appear early next week
before the Pubic Service Commission for the "a
District TO explain the issue Of s3oWooe car trust
certificates for which permission was not optaned
from the commission. Virtually this is an order
from the commission to show cause why the issue
should not be declared invalid.
The railroad company already has submitted
voluninous briefs to Chairman Stevens OF the COM
mission. explaining that ths issue OF certificates
OF Indebtedness. being stock or bonds properly
does not come under the provisions cf the Public
Service Commissions law. These briefs have been
laid before the counsel TO the commission on whose
opinion based the summons TO the New York
Central people 10 put themselves on record at a
public hearing
Whatever the decision which the commission
renders the validity OF the issue of certif-
Gates after this hearing. no alarm need be felt by
the holders those certificates. is asserted here
If they be declared invalid the responsibility Will
rest the railroad company which issued them.
II is possible also that II the company is shown
TO have been wrong in its attitude Of denying
jurisdiction this issue the commission ar
rangements will be made for new issue TO take
the place of the outstanding issue, with the COM
mission permission.
As the case stands there IS question as to
the propriety intrinsic merits OF this iss1,e Of
certificates: the question is to the manner in
which Il was made. The commission has no facts
before il which would il to deny permission
fc" such issue: it> contention is that the rail-
road company violated the law in not seeking per
mission tor such issue OF certificates of indebted
ness. Chairman Stevens has made IL plain that he
does not impugn the good faith OF the railroad
co1npany's lawyers in their contentious that per
mission was not required 1t is evident. though,
that since receiving the opinion of its counsel the
commission believes further explanation Of
railroads position necessary II eventually that po-
siton is believed 10 he proper, it likely
some amendment 10 tho law will be sought to
render impossible the Of any certificates of
Indebtedness Of any character whatever without
application TO the commission
Mr.. Stevens, in letter to Albert II. Harris, gem
eral counsel of the New York Central company,
says that the commission will be glad to hear
presentation of his views upon the question whether
the trust agreement between the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad and the other railroad
companies within its jurisdiction, with the Guar
! anty Trust Company is not which requires its
authorization under Section IS of the Public Service
Commission law
