CENT. MAINE POWER
COMPANY BOND ISSJTE

The Public Utilities Commission
has issued an order authorizing the
Central Maine Power Co. to issue
the balance of its per cent. pre-
ferred stock. for the purpose, first,
of reimbursing its treasury for ex-
penditures for additions to its prop
erty between Sept. so, 1919 and
March 81, 1920. and TO provide ad-
ditional working capital. The order
says among other things:
AS presented to us, our under
standing of the present situation
with reference to outstanding and
authorized preferred capital stock of
this company is as follows:
In 1916 the company reduced its
preferred stock to sl,2f0o00, the
same being s per cent. preferred
stock. At the same time the com
pany voted to increase its preferred
stock capitalization by the issue of
S3,000,0o0 of per cent. preferred
stock. and to give it's then present
holders of 6 per cent. preferred stock
an opportunity to exchange the same
for the new I per cent. preferred
stock upon certain terms. This right

the opportunity and actually made
the exchange. At the close of this
period, there remained of the 6 per

preferred stock and an authorized
issue of 100000 of 7 per cent. pre-
ferred stock.
From time to time since then the
company has made application for
and received authorization for the
issue of its I per cent. preferred
stock and has sold the same for pur-
poses authorized by the commission.
In case known as U No. 37S, the
commission authorized the issue of
54Ss shares of the Z per cent. pre-
ferred stock of the par value of
s54S,S0o. OF this amount s1s6, 661.59

balance of s347,13S.41 was to be exe
pended at Farmingdale and Show

ment and at Farmingdale, between
Oct. 1. 1919 and March 81, 1920, in
elusive. the sum of s453,566.34. In
addition thereto. the company has
expended in additions ana improve
ments of a capital nature an amount
which brings the total expenditure
up to s656,721.01. Deducting from
this the latter amount the S347,-
