the final court order.
i
The balance of cash received by this company available for costs
and expenses of the reorganization, as shown by the audited report at
April 30, 1944, was $181,686.
Costs and expenses as approved by the
final court order dated July 25, 1944, amounted to $135,225, leaving a
balance of $46,481 for distribution on the old certificates pursuant to
the plan of reorganization.
However, the sum of $23,483 has been re¬
served pending the final determination of an appeal that may be taken
by one of the parties from such court order approving the costs and
expenses of the reorganization, claiming that the allowance was inade¬
quate.
Accordingly the amount now to be distributed is Vz of 1%
of the principal of the old certificates, as shown in the above schedule.
When such appeal has been finally determined, any balance will be
distributed to or upon the order of the old certificate holders.
Such
sums
will represent payment for past due interest on the old certifi-

This
will result in- annual sinking fund payments for the Series G bonds
of $240,000,
plus interest as indicated.
Assuming acquisition of all
bonds for the sinking fund at sinking fund redemption prices, it is
estimated that
a
minimum of $10,357,000 of bonds will be retired
through sinking fund operations by maturity, indicating an average
life for the issue of approximately 24V%
years.
To the extent that
bonds may be acquired at prices below sinking fund redemption prices,
the amount of bonds retired will be correspondingly increased and the
average life correspondingly reduced.
Payments may be made in cash
or bonds or partly in cash and partly in bonds,
with bonds taken at the
cost price to the company but not in excess of the then sinking fund
redemption price.
These payments are to be applied by the sinking
fund trustee to the purchase of Series G bonds if obtainable at or
below t>e sinking fund redemption price then in effect,
and if not
so obtainable,
to the redemption by lot at the then applicable sinking
fund

Walter R. Darby,

Chairman of the
Funding Commission of the State

commission has approved the re¬

which there will be issued $22,119,000 of new bonds.

"The
plan," Mr. Darby said,
"will result in an over-all sav¬

$3,400,000 over and above all fees
and expenses necessary to put the
plan into operation. The interest
cost, which averages 4.221% on
the outstanding bonds which are
to be refunded, will be reduced
to 3.117% on the new bonds, a Ad¬
duction of 1.104% on the entire
debt of the city.
