Directors OF the 1nterboroughM Metro
politan Company, through tho adoption
yesterday Of q plan Of reorganization
for presentation to the stockholders on
June I, opened tho way for the long
delayed resumption Of dividend pay
ments on the preferred stock.
It Is proposed to form new oom-
pany, with a 6 per cent. non-cumulative
preferred stock. to replace the present
cumulative per cent stock. Present
holders of the preferred are asked to
give up the 3s per cent. Of back divi-

annually.
The pivotal feature OF the plan is the
fact that in the new company-a name
for which has been decided upon. but not
announced common stock will have
no parvalue. This simple provision. which,
the directors say, In no way affects the
intrinsic value Of the common stock, is
intended to meet the legal obstacle
which. 1t is believed, would prevent the
company from resuming dividends until
its heavy losses in the bankruptcy of
the Metropolitan Street Railways and
the Metropolitan Securities companies
were made UP out of earnings.

BY wiping Off from the liability side Of

value for this the new company will be
able to write off from the asset side prac-
tically the entire inflated assets now
carried in the stocks of these two
liQuldated companies. The new company
can then begin paying dividends without
the danger of legal attack. on the
ground that company with impaired
