the result OF negotiations with the Balti-

The one feature which has par+fcuIsr1,-
hampered the reorganization OF Cincin-

been the deadlock between the bankers
and the owners Of the s1500o.6oo a. per

cipal. The suggestion that these note
holders take an income bond in exchange
for their present notes did not meet with
favor Another plan which has been con
