Borrowing under Regulation V is expected to increase still further, as sales volume builds up, during the coming year. The Regulation V type loan of $6,000,000 appearing as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of Oct. 31, 1942, was peace-time to The Bryant Heater Co. last July by a commercial bank, guaranteed to the bank by the Government. The loan the tremendous increase in Bryant's war business for which Bryant's working capital was wholly inadequate. The loan agreement provides for a reduction of the loan at the company's receivables and backlog of orders under its war-production contracts granted and is 90 % necessitated by reduced. 1942, amounted to 37% over the corresponding figure of $3,637,865 as of Oct. 31, 1941. Receivables as of Oct. 31, 1942, had increased to $5,034,611; this compares with receivables one year before of $2,172,506. Similarly, the inventories rose during the fiscal year to $8,505,433 from $2,918,169 12 months previously. Not only have inventories increased substan¬ tially, but inventory control has been made difficult by the frequently changing Government priority regulations and the ever-continuous military necessity for modifications in product design. These sharp expansions in receivables and inventories reflect the rapidly rising demand for war material that can be fabricated by Dresser divisions. In addition to expenditures for the company's own account, outlays for equipment and tools amounting to approximately $3,000,000 under regulation contracts of Defense Plant Corporation were made or authorized by it for the account of the United States. This Govern¬ ment equipment is being installed in. the factories of Clark, Pacific, and .Bovaird & Seyfang, and has been leased to the company by Defense Plant Corporation under an option to purchase at depreciated 324,776 from divldenid stock, are expenses income Miscellaneous deducts, $1,309,331 $1.87 ^ 176,971 " 44,548 security taxes 1,184,335 293,160 -382,963 - The was by Lawrence R. and fund Statements- 50,452 taxes the marketable securities in the treasuries of the Delaware & Hudson Co. 157, 53,145 taxes profits State, local & social Other stock common year.—V. — and miscellaneous income excess last 1941 452,455 220,074- :*_ * Net operating income before the Interstate Commerce Commission bond plan, a large group of bondholders, Hudson interim An H.'

A hearing upon this holders to certify surplus 1943, income "with sufficient $2,808,647 operations— Total raises issues involving, among other things, the corporate structure of the corporation, including distribution of voting power among its security holders and the justification for the corporation's having more than one class of stock, as well as matters relating to the continued existence of the corporation and its status as part of ,the holding company system which it is alleged to head. Hearings in this proceeding, as well as . on the corporation's own plan, have been completed. In a brief filed with the Commission on Aug. 1, 1942, counsel for the Public Utilities Division of the Commission contended that the voluntary plan submitted by the corporation should be dis¬ missed and that in lieu of any other action, the Commission should order the corporation to be dissolved. Counsel for the corporation have opposed both these contentions. Oral argument was heard by the full Commission on Oct. 8, 1942, but as of Feb. 1, 1943, the Commission had not announced its decision.
