March financ¬

in that the greater portion is for new money, the total
for the month being $73,085,120, or 65%.
In financial

future months, continuing the adverse comparison with
1941 exhibited thus far this year.

further action would be necessary under the provisions of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act.
In the meantime, on June 7.
1941, an agreement was ente^d into

and Columbia Oil, intending to

Without acting upon the application, the
Commission brought on for hearing the applications which had been
filed some years before by Columbia Oil and also by Panhandle Eastern
Pipe Line Co., claiming exemption from the provisions of that Act, and
on May 27,
1941, held that Columbia Oil was a subsidiary of Columbia
Gas & Electric Corp. and that Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co. was a
subsidiary of Columbia Oil.
This ruling required Columbia Oil and
Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co. to file applications with the Com¬
mission

which presents a very special and peculiar problem and which can be
dealt with without affecting the plan)

the basis of the
compromise committee report, they believed it might be possible to *
work out a complete agreement to include terms of acquisition.
The :' ';
joint report filed April 4 follows intensive negotiations during the past
weeks between the principal securityholders involved, Harry C. Hagerty,
Vice Chairman of the insurance group, representing large holdings of
New Haven bonds, and Myron F. Converse, Chairman of the savings
bank group, for wb^ch Major Fred N. Oliver and Willard P. Scott are
counsel,
representing a large part of the outstanding Old Colony
bonds.
The joint report is signed by them, by James H. Brewster, Jr.,
Chairman of {he insurance group, by counsel for the New Haven and
Old Colony plan committees, and by the court's compromise committee.
Under
the joint
report, mutual claims are offset and terms are
agreed to whereby the Old Colony bondholders will receive 20% of their
principal amount in fixed interest bonds and 15% in income bonds
of the reorganized New Haven.
The report further proposes the issu¬
ance
of $2,314,000 of
fixed interest bonds and $1,735,000 of income

lated the corporate laws of New York and Massachusetts.
The laws,
he said,
limited a holding or Investment company to ownership of
10% of any corporation organized under either State's laws.
Judge Welsh held that neither the New York nor Massachusetts
statutes applied to the Pennroad purchases and that Mr. Steckler had
not
proved Pennroad suffered any actual loss in the - transaction.
He also absolved 17 officers and directors, many of whom have since
died, of any violation of their duties.
The suit was filed in 1939.
Last December Judge
Welsh held the Pennsylvania RR. liable, for
Pennroad losses in a decision on a suit by two groups of Pennroad
stockholders, who charged the railroad was responsible for Pennroad
losses
of $95,000,000.
He also directed an accounting to determine
