Holds Bonds of Weak Roads

Question: have two boys to educate
and Of course need safe securities. viii
you give me an opinion on the following
Investments which l hold Chesapeake &
Ohio convertible 5s 1886, Chicago. Rock
Island & Pacific As 1894, Missouri Pacific
general mortgage As 1875, ST. Louis & San
Francisco prior lien series A As 1850 Colo
RADIO & Southern refundlng 41as 1885. Chi
AIS 2014-R. c. A.
Answer-All of the bonds which
you have are the bonds of the weak
roads, with the exception of the Colo
RADIO e. Southern, which is controlled
by the Chicago, Burlington 4 Quincy.
We consider the Colorado & Southern
refunding AIS to be safe invest
ment. We consider the St. Louis-San
Francisco prior lien As as a good in
vestment. The weakness of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio lies in the fact that it
has SO heavy a burden of debt. The
proportion of debt to stock in the
capitalization of a railroad is an i'm
portant factor. The road, however,
showed up unusually we'll under gov
ernment operation, and we consider
the convertible 5s, due 1916, as good
investment. The Chicago, Rock Island
g. Pacific first and refunding 4s, due
1884, recently selling at 81, yielding
nearly 6 per cent current interest and
SIT per cent interest if held till ma
turity, is reasonably safe inestment
We could call your attention to the
comparatively low interest rate and the
rather more than usually high rate if
held for thirteen years and paid at
maturity. Presumably this indicates
a doubt in some investors minds as
to how the principal will be met at
maturity. The Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul refunding Avs are second
lien on over 5000 miles of the system.
The st. Paul has had very difficult
operating problem and has a difficult
financial problem ahead Of it in re-
funding bonds become due within the
next two years. We think that the
company has good chance to solve
its operating problems now that the
Labor Board has reduced wages, and
if the st. Paul does get back to a
profitable operating basis the financial
problem will, in our opinion, be taken
care of by the company's bankers. A
man in your position, however, can
hardly afford to take the chance that is
involved in this bond. We would ad-
wise you to sell at present prices, take
your loss and invest in one of the
high-grade bonds that we frequently
recommend in these columns.

Economics Board
President Warfeld Outlines
Plan for Substantial Econ
omies in Operation of
Carriers i'm Public Interest

In statement given out after n
meeting of the executive committee of
the National Association of Owners Of
Railroad Securities, held in New York,
announcement is made of the appoint
ment of board of economics and engi-
neering. This board is composed of the
following engineers and experts:
John f. Stevens, Colonel F. A. Moli-
tor, John +, Wallace, w L. Darling, L..
E. StillwelI and w. w. Colpitts.
The work to be performed by this
board is regarded as an important step
in the solution of the transportation
problems now confronting the country.
The security owners, it is stated, are
greatly concerned in the present stu
alton. The interest on the bonds Of
railroads generally is not being earned.
On the governments valuation of the
railroads they will be taken into the
larger consolidated systems under the
provisions of the Esch- -Cummins act.
1t is pointed out that this procedure
and the conditions obtaining will have
their effect on the value of railroad Sc
curities.
. The general demoralization incident
to poor business, low earnings, high
operating costs, movement for reduced
rates, the valuations and proposed con-
solidations, together with the friction
between the railroads and their en-
ployees, in the opinion, of the security
owners, is far from reassuring. They
point to the large sums of money re-
quired for the maintenance of the
properties and to the sums owing the
government
The executive committee and the
board of experts believe that substan-
tial economies are necessary and can
be secured through coordination by the
carriers effecting group organization
of the railroads in the four territories
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has laid out.
The committee feels that unless in
tensive economies are effected there is
doubt whether rates and fares pro-
durable will be sufficient to maintain
transportation In the public interest,
or whether part of the cost must be
produced through taxation.
The statement of President S. Davies
Warfield, of the association, in an
nouncing the appointment of the
board, says:
"The railroads have been organized
and are operated under highly COM
petitive methods of administration.
And while competition should be en-
couraged and provided for between

Answer-The two preferred stocks
are, in our opinion, high grade invest

one Of the best of the highest grade

Atchison adjustment 4s also are high
grade, in our opinion. The Central Pa
cific refunding As are we'll secured and
that both Utah Power first 5s and
Northwestern Bell Telephone first Is
are good investments. The Consoli-
dated Gas, Electric Light and Power of
Baltimore are secured by first mort
gage on the Westport power station of
the company and on all of the other
property of the company, except that
some of this other property has prior
lien bonds outstanding, totaling in all
S13,928, 900. We think that the United
States Rubber first and refundng IS,
series A, are a good investment. The
Kanscas City, Fort Scott & Memphis re-
funding As are secured on q part of the
st. Louis & San Francisco Railway sys-
TEN. The company has been one of the
weak roads, and when it was reorgan-
lied, after foreclosure, the new company,
the st. Louis & San Francisco, did not
assume the guaranty of principal and

Attractive Bonds

advice relative to the purchase of the
following, from the point of whether they
would be conservative invcstments2 Great
Northern rs. City Of Copenhagen 6hs.
Beaver Board So, Steel and Tube 7s Mid
die West Utilities Company Ss, Virginia
Carolina Chemical TVS Kansas City
Southern 3s,-C, f. b.
Answer-All of the bonds that you
name have attractive features. The
Great Northern rs are not callabls
until maturity, in 1886. The Steel
and Tube Company of America rs are,
in our opinion, good investment with
good security. The Kansas City South
ern IS are prior lien bond on COM
paratively small railroad property, but
one which we think is essentially sound
and in strategic position to get traf-
fic. 1t is the short line between most
of the points that 1t serves, and even
were the railroad situation to become
worse this bond would be safe as to
principal in the long run. Because Of
the depression in the fertilizer bust
ness the Virginia Carolina Chemicals
are selling at a low price, but the COM
pany is strong one and has gone
through more serious depressions than
the present one.
