Attorneys for certain pre¬ share and per objected to the escrow arrangement, stating that, in their opinion, the preferred stockholders should be permitted to continue their whole investment until the litigation was concluded.

(reclassified into 381,994 shares) on the basis of one-fifth of a share of El Paso common stock for each share of Engineers' common stock; (2) approximately 94.5% of the common stock of Virginia, on the basis of 1.45 shares of Virginia common stock 'for each share of Engineers' common stock.

This loan, according to Mr. Hilton, represents a major simplification ir. the corporation's capital structure and reduces total annual requirements for interest and principal by approximately $400,000, equal to* 25 cents a share on the outstanding common stock. Mr. Hilton stated that the proceeds of this long-term financing will be used to retire the existing $10,200,000 mortgage on The Palmer House, which would mature in eight years, and to retire the existing mortgages on The Stevens Hotel, Chicago, 111.; The Town House. Los Angeles, Calif.; Hilton Hotel, Long Beach, Calif., and Hilton Hotel, Lubbock, Texas, now bearing higher rates of interest. This results in all of the properties owned by the corporation being clear of mortgage indebtedness, except The Palmer House, The Plaza in New York City, and a small indebtedness on the Hilton Hotel of El Paso, which is not subject to prepayment. As a result of the privi¬ lege of prepaying up to $1,000,000 a year, the new financing gives the corporation the greatest flexibility. In periods of prosperity it permits the corporation to carry out it.; policy of reducing its fixed obligation^ as rapidly as possible, while in periods of reduced earnings, its fixed charges are reduced substantially, Mr. Hilton said. The Palmer House, containing 2,250 rooms, is one of the world's largest hotels. It is one of the most valuable hotel sites in the world, located in the heart of Chicago's "Loop." The aggregate yearly store rentals exceed $1,000,0C0, and are more than enough to service both interest and principal on, the new bonds. Such rentals are larger than the commercial rentals of any other hotel in the world. The original Palmer House was constructed immediately after the great Chicago fire in 1871, and the property remained in the Potter Palmer family until acquired by the Hilton interests in 1945, The present hotel was opened in 1926 and cost $30,000,000 including land, to build. It is the third Palmer House in the city of Chicago, The Palmer House has played an important role in the history of Chicago. Hilton Hotels'Corp. is the largest operator of hotels in the United States. It operates the following hotels: The Palmer House and •eevens in Chicago; The Plaza and Roosevelt, New York; Mayflower in Washington, D. C.; Neil House in Columbus, Ohio; Dayton Bilimore in Dayton, Ohio; Falm Beach Biltmore in Palm Beach, Florida; Hilton Hotel, Lubbock, Texas; Hilton Hotel, Albuquerque; Town House, Los Angeles, and Hilton Hotel at Long Beach, Calif.

If the proposed amendment becomes effective, amount of the plan from $5,000 to effective as of Jan. The the members of the affected by the proposed amendment and the company will both be required to make additional payments as though the present plan <as originally adopted had contained such amendment. Thus the total cost of the increased benefits will be paid partly by. the employees "affected by the proposed amendment and partly by the company, such I employees* contributing 4Vu% compensation received during such .'years of creditable membership service after March 31, 1945, which is in excess of $5,000, but does not exceed $20,000. On the basis of independent actuarial studies making various assump¬ tions in regard to the above factors, the company estimates that the lump sum additional cost to the company for all service prior to Jan. 1, 1947, of the proposed amendment over and above the cost of the present plan would be approximately $547,467, of which $169,531 is on account of officers and directors and the remainder is for all other employees affected by the amendment. It is expected that this amount will be paid as promply as possible in instalments as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code (10% per year). However, the company Is ■allowed considerable discretion in relating such payments to its general financial condition. On the basis of the assumptions made in these I plan !. ' studies, it Is estimated that the average annual cost In the future (excluding funding for past services) of for in the amended . plan will amount to of. which only $37,729 will be on account of amendment.—V. 165.

It remains the view of the board of directors, however, that the most satisfactory and expeditious method for retiring large blocks of the preference stock is by exchanges of securities comparable to thpse carried out in 1944 and 1945. On Jan. 22, 1947 the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission a plan for an filed that the exact price of of 200,000 the With shares of Columbia Gas & Electric Corp. common stock shares of United Corp.'s preference stock, on the basis shares four Columbia of common stock and $2 cash for one share corporation's preference stock. the improved marketability of various of the securities in the corporation's portfolio and the settlement of problems of the corpo¬ ration's statutory subsidiaries under the Public Utility Holding Com¬ exchanges through it believed is that first the through cash payments. Thus, of securities the year 1947 will witness substantial compliance requirement under Section 11 of the Public major or Utility Holding Company Act, namely, that the corporation change its capitalization to a single class of common stock. Pursuant to approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the stockholders at the annual meeting held on April 10, 1946, authorized amount of common stock and converted such author¬ a stated value of $1 per share to $1 per share par value stock and has reduced its authorized amount of preference stock from 5,000,000 shares to 1,214,700 shares and converted such authorized shares from no par value stock of a, stated value of $5 per share to a $5 per share par value stock. .These changes did not result in any change in the aggregate dollar amounts shown in the balance sheet for the common and preference stocks nor in any change in the surplus accounts of the corporation. Up to Dec. 31, 1946 the corporation purchased in the open market for cash 78,500 shares of its $3 cumulative preference stock at a total cost of $3,780,585. The Securities and Exchange Commission fa its order dated Aug. 9, 1946 authorized the corporation to expend an. aggregate amount of $5,000,000 for the purchase of shares of its $3 cumulative preference stock over a period of six months.

The Stock Exchange listings relate to an entirely different thing. They em¬ brace not only new but also old securities which have just found their way to the Exchange, and they relate only to the New York Stock Exchange, by which we mean that they do not include listings of any of the other stock exchanges of the country. They also include se¬ curities replacing old securities, which process occurs chiefly in cases of recapitalizations and of reorganiza¬ tions. • ", The total of corporate Public listings during 1946, as already Of the total, railroads accounted for $951,491,571 compared with $1,501,067,850 in 1945, the largest in amount of any single year since 1930 when $1,686,375,933 was reached. Public utility securities listed during 1946 aggregated $1,358,016,839 compared with $1,616,850,644 in 1945, which was the largest recorded in 15 years, or since 1930, when the total reached $2,026,334,793. Industrial and miscellaneous securities listed showed a huge increase over 1945 the totals being $1,878,042,608 and $1,362,185,985 respectively. The 1946 figures are the largest reported since 1937 when the total reached $1,672,715,435. Of the total of all secu¬ rities listed by far the greater portion fell under the refunding column, the total for the year, $2,584,174,754, comparing with $3,877,901,486 in 1945. The other cate¬ gories were $1,363,186,905 representing issues for new capital, etc., compared with $450,904,270 in 1945; and $240,189,359 representing old issues being listed for the first time, against $151,298,623 in 1945.
