FROM PUBLIC SALE
Court InterVenes in Behalf Of
Denver and Rio Grande Western

Denver, Col, Jan. 3.-The Denver
& Rio Grande Western Railroad, now
under federal receivership, was saved
from possible sale on the auction
block for a second time. when United
States District Judge J. Foster Symes
today signed an order permitting Re-
ceiver Thomas H. Beacon to borrow
s1,500,000 to be used in paying ST.
l29, 900 in interest on underlying
bonds of ISL. 900, the interest hav-
ing fallen due yesterday.
1t is understood that the money is
being offered by group of junior
bondholders, whose holdings of SAL
600, 008a and $40. 100000 in secondary
mortgages. would be Imperfect in the
event of a foreclosure on default of
the interest on the senior bonds. The
court order does not name the source
of the loan, but it is known that ap-
parently Judge Symes and Receiver
Beacon have been considering two Of
fers-one from the junior bondholders
through the Bankers Trust company
of New York, and the New York
Trust company, and the other from
the Western Pacific and the Missouri
Pacific railroads, according to reports,
The Western Pacific and the Mis-
souri, Pacific are said to hold approx
imately ISL, 000, 600 in second mort
cages of the Rio Grande road.
Action of Judge Symes in allowing
acceptance of the loan also will enable
the road to pay other interest falling
due between now and June !, it was
said.
Judge Symes explained that the
loan will enable the road to proceed
under receivership plans with the re-
Mobilization program involving APP
proximately s16,N0O.000.
Acceptance Of the loan will have
no bearing whatever on the proposed
plan of re-tinancing the road which
was approved recently by the inter
state commerce commission, Judge
Symes said The plan is being OPP
posed by the state of Colorado as well
as by Judge Symes.
