Stockholders of the Rich
mond Water Works Com
pany Authorize 100000 Is
sue of Preferred Stock.
BONDS OF COMPANY
WILL BE TAKEN UP
And Funds Will Be Raised to
Pay For Improvements
Local Case Given to Utili-
ties Commission.

At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Richmond City Water Works COM
tpany this afternoon the directors of
the company were authorized to issue
l$4000 100000 in preferred stock for the
purpose Of paying on the present bond
ed Indebtedness of $250,000.00; pro-
.viding s1O0, 10000 for the contemplat-
sed improvements, and $4,000 treasury
stock. The new stock issue bears
rs per cent interest and Is accumula-
tive. The stockholders have the arst
option on the purchase of the stock at
$4,000 per share, the par value of
which is $4,000.
An official of the company stated
this morning that the matter of re-
ffnancing the obligations of the COM
Ipany had been contemplated for over
IA year and that the new public utility
commission law passed by the last
Legislature had nothing to do with the
action of the company today. He said
that at the present time it was i'm
possible to sell bond issue without
IA great financial sacrifice in under
writing the bonds. The company
could not sell bonds at this time for
more than 75 cents on the dollar, he
said, and 1t Is doubtful il they could
be fioated at all because the company
shas no contract with the city.
The company believes that by issu-
ing the preferred stock to the local
stockholders at the price named it
will be able to dispose of all the new
securities to local people at better
price than II sold to outside parties
who are not familiar with local con-
iitions
The bonds of the company come
due in October of this year and there
fore the company had to provide some
way of meeting the payment of these
bonds before that time.
In some of the testimony that was
given during the course of the ne
gotiations for the new contract with
the city, an Official of the company ad-
mitted that the company had from
time to time purchased some of it's
own bonds, which are now property
of the company What disposition is
to be made of the money derived from
the purchase of the bonds the COM
pany owns has not yet been made
known.
