MISSOURI PACIFIC
PLAN IS OFFERED
Examiner Favors Debt Cut
and Wiping Out of Stock
Holdings.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An Interstate Commerce Commits
sion examiner recommended today re-
organization of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad system with q sharp reduc-
ton in its fixed interest debt.
The examiner, r. H. jewell, said
holdings of all stockholders should be
wiped out.
Jewell proposed that the new COM
pany have 4 total fixed interest debt
Of $l8S,729,500. compared with $685.
033.72l for the present system. Total
capitalization would be $3.50, ,S98, 900,
compared with s671, ,2O5.6 1854.
Total annual charges under JEWELS
proposal would be $20.46S,013, COM
pared with s29, ,10S,0l9 as now.
Fixed interest would be s7.4l4.265,
compared with $24.770.052 under the
present system. Total charges prior
to dividends on stock would be $l5,-
0l9.1l3. compared with $25, ,598,514.
The examiner recommended consol-
idation Of owned properties which now
are being operated as the Missouri
Pacific System, with the exception Of
the Missouri-Illinois Railroad, which
would not be included.
He said the record showed certain
economies may reasonably be expected
to be effected by consolidation Of the
properties and that better service
probably would result from continued
system operation rather than from
separate operation.
"A consolidation Of the various sys-
tenn companies upon reorganizati ton
will permit simplified capital struc-
ture," Jewell said.
Jewell said that as of January /,
1888. the aggregate Indebtedness Of
the Missouri Pacific System was about
