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.

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.
