To REORGANIzE
P. M. RAILROAD
PLAN TO LIGHTEN THE LOAD OF
DEBIT, PLACE CONTROL IN
MICHIGAN MEMS HANDS.
NOW BEFORE COMMISSION
The Bond Holders Wish to Get Some
of Their Money Back and Have
the Road Self Sustaining.

Lansing the voting trus-
tees are acceptable TO state railroad
commission. 1t is believed the plan for
the reorganization of the Pere Mar
quette as outlined in the petition filed
Thursday morning VIII be approved
at the hearing before the commission
June 90
While members OF the railroad com.
mission are not willing TO make pub
lie statements before formal hearing,
it is known that a majority of them
favor the plan to keep the system
intact and not dismember 1t into
branch lines.
An expected reorganization plan
for the Pere Marquette Rail
road company has begun in ap-
plication to the Michigan railroad COM
mission for hearing at which a plan
decided on by the reorganization COM
mittee representing various bond and
security holders could be presented
and approved.
When the railroad commission APP
proves the plan it will be referred
back to the various combinations of
bond and other security holders.
There is every indication that the
plan will be adopted.
The plan offered wipes out all pres
ent Indebtedness of the road, amount
ing in actual value to $125.000,0
and substitutes therefor bonds and
stocks, both preferred and common,
amounting to S1O5,000,00O
The road is to be controlled for the
next five years at least by a voting
trust elected by holders of the secur-
tiles. These will be held by old stock
and bondholders, who will each get
something of the new issue for their
old stuff.
In addition part Of the bond issue
will be sold for the securing of money
for operating expenses.
About all the members OF this vot-
ing trust who will thus become the
heads and operators Of the road prop
er will be men who are acceptable to
the Michigan railroad commission and
Michigan public. This is specified in
the application of the committee to
the commission.
The plan in its entirety starts with
the foreclosure now under way in the
United States court in Detroit. Then
comes bond issue of $36,000,000 and
an issue of $24,000,000 preferred stock,
In two series, and a common stock
Issue of $45 100000. The intention is
1, exchange these securities all but a
cortion of the bonds to be sold, for
securities outstanding. each holder to
get something, although exact basis
of exchange has not been decided.
Three main objects are stated for
this exchange:
First-To maintain the railroad as a
railway system,
Second-To reduce fixed charges of
interest, which amounts to 100000
a year. by practically s2.5OO,OOO
Third-To sell S6,O00,OOO of the $780,
100000 bond issue; add to the pro-
ceeds the sum of s10,000,000 raised
by an assessment on holders of the
new preferred and common stock, as
a condition precedent to securing
stock, and use this S16.OOO,OO0 as
raised to wipe out all receivers GER
tificate and pay all court costs.
If the railroad commission approves
the plan and various organizations of
bond and other security holders do
likewise it is figured the entire new
plan can be in operation by July l.
