of the board Of directors. 1T is with
regret that l have to advise that this
difficulty still exists and in a more in
tense form, for while the worlds in
vestment markets have improved slight
~, conditions in Mexico have been
considerably more disturbed than they
were in the previous year, making It
practically impossible to sell any Of
the company's bonds.
The board fully appreciates the IN
desirability Of issuing short term obi
cations. but unfortunately the COM
pany's position. combined with the gen.
eral financial conditions throughout the
world. has rendered it impossible to
adopt any other course"
The report goes on to say: "As is
well known. the conditions which
have prevailed throughout the coun-
try have affected principally the rail-
way lines. In addition to damage
done to the physical properties. the
disturbances and Interruptions had
marked effect on the gross earnings,
while at the same time the constant
reconstruction work made necessary
to keep the lines in operation increas-
ed materially the operating expenses"
