H. Kirkpatrick of the' U. S. District Court at Phila¬

the company under Section 77B
of the Bankruptcy Act is "worthy
of consideration" by its creditors.
He referred the plan to the SEC
lor an advisory report to be filed not later than May 18.
Under the plan the $2,000,000 of 5$ cumulative ($50 par) preferred
on
which there were interest arrears of $1,165,000 on Oct. 15, 1942
and $745,000 ($10 par)
common would be eliminated.
In place ot
the $2,267,000
5$ bonds due 1960, on which there were interest
arrears
of $1,094,583,
there would be issued new income bonds of

Contribution by American to Northern—American proposes
to contribute to the capital of Northern the $794,000 principal amount
of open account indebtedness of Northern to American, whicn contribu¬
tion will be credited by Northern to its capital surplus as of Dec.
31,
1942.
As of such date Northern will, by the appropriation of
$140,332, from earned surplus,
increase its depreciation reserve to
$148,867.
Such amount;, the company states, is calculated by using
rates prescribed in an order of the P. S. Commission of Wisconsin
certifying depreciation rates for Northern under a 4% compound inter¬
est method.
Northern will eliminate its total deficit in earned surplus
as
or
Dec. 31,
1942, by a charge to the capital surplus created as
above described.
Northern's capitalization will then consist of $25,000
common stock and $578,844 of capital surplus, a total of $603,845. ,/
Capital

Acquisition by Superior of the Common Stock of Northern—After
capital contribution by American to Northern and the adjustments
above are effected, American will sell the common stock of

the

described

5,000 shares ($100 par) common stock of
Superior.
The purchase price has been approved by the Wisconsin
Commission which found
that the value of the stock of Northern
to
be acquired by Superior is not less than the $500,000 par value
of common stock of Superior to be issued therefor.
