ROAD TO BE REFINANCED
Minority stockhoiN srs Accept Plan For
Reorganization Of m. 4 st. L. 10 Put
Il in Better Financial Condition.

The plan proposed by committee
Of the M. & st. l.. for reflnancing tn.
road was accepted by the minority
stockholders at the adjourned meeting
OF the stockholders in Minneapolis.
The plan includes an exchange of
| stock and an assessment Of $50 per
share on the old stock. The minority
stockholders, who opposed the, scheme
OF reorganization, consented to it after
a concession including "a change OF
such part Of the management as may
be necessary for the best interests Of
the company The minority is also
allowed two directors.
The following statement of the plan
adopted was issued ny the company:
THE plan now adopted will bring
into the treasury about $4,500,000 1t
contemplates the discharge Of $780,
900 OF notes which fell due Feb. /, and
were extended to Aug. 1, and also tho
discharge of $1,100,000 Of the floating
debt, the balance to be added to the
working capital"
Attorney Benjamin F. Spellman and
Charles P. McElroy, chairman Of the
committee for the minority stockhold-
ers made this statement: 1.-THE raising
Of this new money will place the COM
pany In excellent financial condition;
1t will be freed from the high rate of
interest and commissions it has been
compelled to pay on the notes and on
a good part Of the floating debt; be-
sides having additional working capt.
tai, it will have the backing of bankers
of high standing and repute.
Originally we were mostly con-
cerned for those Of the stockholders
represented by us who were unable at
the present time to pay the $40 per
share, but arrangements have been
made to finance them. Inasmuch as
the company has been steadily gaining
In business and the prospects Of the
road were never brighter, we believe
the adoption of the plan will effect an
immediate and decided Improvement
in the credit of the company and in
the market value of It's stocks and Sc
curities." /

Negotiations for the purchase of the
town electric light plant Of State Cen
ter have been opened with the council
by the Iowa Railway and Light COM
pany. Representatives Of the COM

and left with the understanding that
they would return with a proposition
for the purchase of the property. The
council is only lukewarm regarding
the proposal. but it Is understood will
give the representatives offer con-
sideration.
The Iowa Railway and Light Com
pany made an attempt two or three
years ago to sell the town power to
operate the plant, but the proposal
was turned down by the State Center
council. The company is now building
high tension line from this city west
thru State Center, which, is one Of the
few towns between Cedar Rapids and
Boone in which It. does not own the
electric light and gas properties.

BOARD ASKS FOR BIDS FOR ADD.
TIoNs TO TWO OLD SCHOOL
BUILDINGS.
PREPARES TO ERECT
ESCAPES ON SEVEN
Bids For Building Fire Escapes to Be-
Opened by Board July 6-'Bids For
Additions TO Buildings 10 Be Received
July Is ~ Escapes Ordered by
State.

Compelled by state law and inspec-
ton to equip practically all of the
schools with fire escapes, the school
board has begun the preliminary work
to prepare the buildings for the erec-
ton work. Partly as an alternate plan
allowed by the state instead Of build
ing fire escapes. and to provide addi-
tional room, the board is planning to
build additions to both the Rogers and
Arson schools.
Fifteen fire escapes were ordered on
the school buildings by the state in
spector. The expense is expected to
be large. One was ordered on the high
school, four on the manual training
building, and two each on the Frank
lin, Arnold, Click, Anson. and Abbott
and Rogers. The board will receive
bids Tor the erection Of these escapes
July 8.
Additions to Be Built.
The state bureau Of labor that has
charge Of the enforcement Of this
statute has approved the erection OF a
second stairway in the Rogers build
ing in lieu of building escapes. An
addition will therefore be built to the
west wall Of the building. providing
room for an extension Of the halls, and
room for another stairway and prin-
cipals office or teachers rest room.
This addition will be more expensive
than fire escapes, but the room is
badly needed.
At the spring election the voters re-
fused to allow the board to levy tax
for new building for the Fifth ward.
Room was so badly needed that the
board expects to enlarge the Arson
building now by building to 1t an adj
dition containing two rooms Bids for
these additions are to be received by
the board July Is.
