companyfng the report, President Frank
Trumbull points out The enforced ac-
ceptance OF equipment allocated to the
Hooking Valley company by the Rail
road Administration and the protest
against the ALLEGATION made by the di-
rectors. During the year" he said
the officers Of your company were noti-
fed that the Railroad Administration
had allocated to II 555 ton coal cars, the
cost OF which your company was ex-
pected to assume. Your directors pro-
tested against being required to accept
such equipment, as. in their opinion. the
equipment allocated was unnecessary
and was of a type unsuited for the
proper and efficient operation OF the
railroad and the prices paid for II by
the administration were unreasonably
high. Notwithstanding these objections
the Director General has insisted that
| your company accept this ALLEGATION
under penalty of having the entire
cost. approximately $1,3is.5o0, charged
| against the annual compensation due
| from the administration. which cost, II
so charged. might render IL imprac-
ticable for your company to maintain
its present dividend rate Your direc-
tors are disposed to accept the alloca-
ton, provided the Director General will
assist in financing its cost, which II Is
believed he will be willing to do"
