vides for the Railroad Administration
meeting half the amount due on New
Haven notes with money from the
500, ,OO0.0 900 revolving fund placed at Mr..
McAdoo's disposal by Congress. On
the other hand. the New Haven is to
have the assistance of the Pennsyl-

in meeting $1,1SO,5OO by the terms of
the tentative plan. The Mutual Life
Insurance Company would pay 1856. 667,
and the American Express Company
