first mortgage on a low grade line. built
comparatively few years ago by the
Erie. leaving the old main line west
of Jersey City and rcjoining it at a
point west of the hills in the southern

long and expensive tunnel on it. and
great deal Of grading was done to
reduce the grade as compared with the
old main line 1t is. in our opinion,
al essential part OF the Erie. and even
were there to be reorganization the
interest on these bonds would be con-
tinued and they likely would not be

withs standing their name the Erie prior
lien as arc general mortgage subject

probable that we're reorganization
