Anacostia & Potomac
And City & Suburban
Bond Plan Ready
Utility Companies
Give FinuI Details
Of Compromise

Holders of Anacostia & Potomac
River r. r. per cent bonds and
OF City g. Suburban IS will be offered
a final settlement plan shortly by
the Capital Transit and Washington
Railway & Electric Co.'S, it was stated
IN the financial district today. The
compromise plan has already been
approved by the Public Utilities
Commission and is now before the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion.
Under the compromise arrange
ment, holders of the two classes of
bonds are being offered certificates
which extend the maturity dates of
the present issues to December, 1851.
The interest will be reduced from
5 to 3a4 per cent, while new call
prices will also be fixed.
According to the prospectus Just
issued, the Capital Transit Co. will
be the obligor and the Washington
Railway & Electric Co. the guar
antor. The plan must be approved
by 30 per cent of the bondholders by
October ! to become effective.
There are more than $4,000. 900 of
the bonds outstanding, held by
Washington banks and many indi-
vidual investors. The compromise
will end long court action which
has been pending for several months.
The prospectus with the complete
details will be available at the Riggs
National Bank and the National
Metropolitan Bank.
The exchange of the present bonds
for the new certificates will take
place as soon as majority of the
holders agree to the plan, the regis
tration statement already being in
the hands of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission.
Hints of a settlement of the liza
bility issue several weeks ago and
the subsequent announcement caused
the bonds to climb rapidly to around
par after being severely depressed for
several years.

Steel Scrap Price
Dips so Gents
| Per Ton
BY The Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, June 26.-The long
rising price curve for steel scrap
dipped today when sales of No.
heavy melting scrap were made at
s20.50 ton, reduction of so cents
The present range is $40 to $20.50.
Hesitancy developed in the scrap
maret when the French armistice
raised the problem of disposing OF
French iron and steel contracts
Since then the British Purchasing
Commission announced such con-
tracts would be taken over by Eng
land.
Weighing heavily on the scrap
market when the French armistice
estimated $50, 1000 tons Of scrap metal
originally headed for Italy, but tied
up in Atlantic seaboard ports by
transportation difficulties.
Added to this supply, which will
have to be resold, dealers said. were
about 100000 tons of iron and steel
products destined for the Balkans
Italy and Scandinavian countries.
Much of this metal was on the high
seas bound for foreign ports when
Germany's lightning war success
caused the ships to return to United
States ports.
While it was hoped some of these
products might be resold, to Latin
American countries for instance,
differences in specifications might
prohibit this. AS a last resort the
metal could be sold for its scrap
value.

Mr.. Hand said that there had been

Amateur golf championship with a

This, over a Winged Foot G.. c..
West course which was playing
long and proving difficult for some
of this country's finest simon
pures, was a sterling performance.
But even so it gave the Cincinnati
an only a one-stroke margin over
his closest pursuers.
Actually he was the pursuer,
since he came in last of the pace
settlers. Bracketed behind him at

were Dick Chapman, who croons
occasionally and hits good golf
shots consistently; Jack Cree, a
blond, husky 24-year-old from up

That champion should be up and

Winged Foot virtually is Dicks

cetnber, 1914. They estimated that
the ~.battleships would require four
or five years to complete, however.
The huge block of orders will tax
the facilities of government and pri.
vate plants and result in the expan.
sion of building equipment at many
of them. Expenditures for addi-
tional building facilities will be in
addition to the amounts of the con-
tracts awarded today. Officials said
that, in the case OF new ways and
other equipment built at private
yards, title to these facilities would
be held by the government.
The navy also announced that ne
gotiations covering contracts for ap-
proximately 2,400 airplanes, the total
value of which was placed at about
$108, 900 900, were in the final stage.
Actual execution of certain plane
contracts, the navy's announcement
said, was subject to final decisions
as to the manner of financing and
amortizing plant expansion and addi-
tional facilities.
Furthermore, the navy announced
that it would spend $31, $685. 500 on
expansion of naval establishments.
Officials said most of this money
would go toward expansion of exist
ing servicing facilities, such as naval
stations, yards and docks. No break
down of expenditures at different
points was made public.
Press officers said that completion
of negotiations for contracts cover-
ing 2,400 airplanes would bring the
total amount involved in the pro-
gram announced today to $4,000
zoe, 812.
The 1921, 900, 900 defense appro-
priation which President Roosevelt
signed today carried $183,00o, 900 in
cash to start construction of ships
and SAT, 0OO, 900 in authority to con-
tract for their armament. Additional
appropriations to continue the con
will be asked of congress
as needed over the next five years.
