pleasure of Mayor 'Hylan and other
members Of the Board Of Estimate to-

the steadily mounting price OF gaso-
line. kerosene and all other oil pro-
ducts, In 1917 and 1913 the gross
earnings exceeded the capital stock,
Since 1912 the dividend rate has been
20 per cent. year. For sixteen
years before that 1t ran from 80 per
cent. TO As per cent. year
In 1913 the company earned S46,-

dends. This dividend included $40 a

There Is given below a list OF nifty
seven corporations that have either
distributed or have decided through
the vote OF their boards OF directors
TO distribute stock dividends this
year. The par value OF the stocks
they have distributed or proposed to
distribute. providing sanction OF
stockholders can be obtained. is more
than i2S7OOO,OOO g,
The list is by no means complete.
In the FIRST place, largo number Of
oil companies are excluded for the
reason that in many cases their stock
dividends have been ordered simply
for the purpose Of aiding the market
position OF their securities, and no
attempt will be made to differentiate
between such companies and those oil
companies that because OF the size
OF their earnings might properly dis
tribute stock dividends.
Secondly, the list given below has
been limited 80 as not to include COM
panies that have declared stock divi-
dends OF less than 10 per cent. There
are a great many such companies and
tho value OF their stock dividends in
the aggregate would greatly swell the
total given below.
a certain few of tho stocks men
toned in the appended list have mo
par value" In such instances n par
OF 800 per share has been arbitrarily
given them.
In tho case Of the Stutz Motor
Company only the par value of the
stock dividend thus far paid is given.
Tho several stock dividends proposed
by the company have been omitted.
