Corp. at the time of acquiring
its railroad properties, assumed obligation and liability in respect of
outstanding securities of the Delaware & Hudson Co., and of certain
other companies, including $49,000,000 of the company's 1st & ref.
mtge. bonds, which the corporation assumed as primary obligor, the
company remaining contingently liable thereon.
Of these bonds, $47,769,000 are outstanding in the hands of the public, $1,231,000 were
reacquired prior to March 1, 1938, and are held by the company;
$1,000,000 were subsequently issued to the corporation and are now
held by it.
These bonds will mature on May 1, 1943, and the appli¬
cants are unable to pay or
to refund them at this time, and have
formulated a plan of debt adjustment dated Dec. 15, 1942, pursuant
to Chapter XV of the Bankruptcy Act.
The principal features of the plan are that it will provide for the
payment, in cash, of 10% of the principal amount of bonds outstanding
in the hands of the public, such payment to be made to each bondholder in full satisfaction and retirement of that percentage of the
principal of such outstanding bonds; the maturity date of the remain¬
ing 90 % of such principal and of the $2,231,000 of bonds held by the

the management March 27.
The Commission's authority extends the
maturity of $45,223,100 first and refunding mortgage 4% bonds, due
May 1, 1943, to May 1, 1963.
This $45,223,100 bonds is comprised of
$42,992,100 bonds which will remain in the hands of the public after
payment of 10% on the principal of the bonds as provided under the
plan; and $2,231,000 of the bonds held in the treasury of the company.
The Commission's approval was given
to the plan without modifi¬
cations or changes,
the statement points out.
Commenting on. the
position taken by the only intervenor who, in the aggregate, claimed
to represent less
than 1% of the total amount of bonds involved in
the plan, the Commission in its report states:
"The position of the holders of the
first and refunding mortgage
bonds will be improved upon consummation of the plan because of
