between Island Pond, Vt., and the Canadian

This portion of the road was constructed by the St. Lawrence at a
cost of $438,000, which is the agreed price of purchase.
At present
outstanding

though overdue, are $438,000 of Island
Pond debentures.
As the property is to be conveyed to the Atlantic
free of encumbrances, the issue of proposed bonds in the amount of
$438,000 is, in effect, a refunding of the existing bonds.
The value
of this property for rate-making pruposes as of June 30,

The case involves the accounting by the. New York Telephone Co.
for certain property which "it purchased' from the A. T. & T. Co. .
during the years 1925 to 1928, and which it required for the conduct
of
its business in New York State. - During this period both
com¬
panies were under the Jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Com¬
mission, which had prescribed the method by which telephone com¬
panies should account for such purchases. On Jan. 1, 1937 the FCC .
substituted, its own system of. accounts for that of the ICC.,
It is the. contention of the Telephone company that" its" accouning
for the purchases in question was in strict accordance with the system
of
accounts of the ICC' in effect
at the time of the purchases.
It
further contends
that, the, prices
paid for the property were faiv
and
reasonable
and
were
so
determined by the Federal Court in
New
York
in
1929; When
the Court included this property .at. the.
prices paid, in its valuation of the company's plant for rate purposes.*
Most of the property involved in the purchases has been retired from
service..

credit for $125,000,000 running to Dec. 31, 1946
this corporation with 57 banks from coast to
coast headed by the Bankers Trust Co., New York, according to an
announcement made on Dec. 10 by Thomas A. Morgan, President.
"During the negotiations we received the utmost cooperation from
the United States Navy, which is guaranteeing a
percentage of the
credit," Mr. Morgan said.
It is expected that the credit,
finance all of the company's war
production as well as eventual terminations.
;
Mr. Morgan pointed out that Spery's expansion program has been
completed and production is running at a high rate.
While some
terminations, involving in most ca-cs forward commitments, have been
received, the present volume of production is not appreciably changed.
The company is still receiving new contracts on more recent develop¬
ments, notably in the radar and electronics fields.—V. 158, p. 1772.

stock of Wacker, General Finance
9,586 shares of Wacker preferred, 4,863'shares of
LaSalle class A, and 177,318 shares of LaSalle common stock.
*
To finance the construction of its building, Wacker obtained a $10,000.000 loan, secured by a first mortgage, from the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co.
This loan was in default by Nov., 1938.
Since that
time the Wacker company, assisted by the General Finance Corp., has
changed the terms of the mortgage ta allow dividends to shareholders
from earnings other than from the buildings, and the company in¬
tends, after the merger, to segregate its, assets so- that shareholders
can be paid dividends from earnings not connected with
the building.
The company also intends to set up a purchase fund to be used for
the acquisition of outstanding shares of class A and class B stock.
In his proxy statement, Mr. Thompson states that "it is the opinion
of the management of the company that if the present capital struc¬
ture is revised the company will be afforded an opportunity to obtain
earnings which will be available for distribution to its stockholders.
"The
proposed merger of LaSalle with the Wacker company will
assist the latter to accomplish this objective and at the same time
preserve for the holders of the present Wacker preferred stock their
interest in the buildings and other tangible property of the Wacker
