a sister road (the CJatawissa), the State taxes, as there
tofore, were left to De deducted. The dividend paid
last July was the full three per c e n t; but this Janu
ary only 2^- per cent. The State tax had been charged
to the stockholders, making their rental only 54 per
cent per annum. The question whether the New York
Contral or its leased line, the Harlem, shall receive
the benefit to come from reducing by one-half the in
terest on the Harlem’s funded debt is still awaiting
adjudication by the courts, an excellent example of
the ambiguities that creep into important contracts.
Experience therefore has shown the necessity for just
the fullness of expression that has been employed in
the West End lease touching the matter of rental.
In passing, we may say that the lessee assumes
definitely the interest on the bonds of the West End
Company and on the existing indebtedness of any
street railway company that the West End Company
is under obligation to pay. It also assumes all lia
bilities under the contract with the city of Boston
touching the subway. There is no assumption, how
ever, of the principal of the debt of the West End,
nor is any necessary, since, as a dividend-paving cor
poration, its bonds need no guaranty of this kind.
The terms of the lease on these points are peculiar
only for their clearness.
The articles regarding the right to issue stock or
bonds of the West End Company for improvements
are of far more interest. An open construction ac
count where only one company is concerned is, as all
recognize, open to abuse, so easy is it to charge to con
struction items that properly belong to operating ex
penses. But it is obvious how much greater must be
the danger of an improper accounting where a com
pany is in a position to charge construction expenses
to a leased line which in turn must capitalize the same
at the request of the lessee, without perhaps a reason
able opportunity to determine that the amounts in
volved have been properly applied. The lease under
consideration ensures fair dealing by stringent and apt
provisions, but this is not always so.
Under the terms of the lease, the West End Com
pany is required to issue its stock or bonds from time
to time at the request of the lessee, in order to meet
the cost of improvements and additions to the
leasehold estate. The nature of such improvements
and additions, however, is carefully prescribed, as we
shall presently see ; and in every case the West End
Company must be informed of the purposes for
which it is proposed to issue the securities, and if
fault is found therewith and its consent to the issue
is withheld, a board of arbitrators must pass upon the
matter. If the arbitrators, by a majority opinion, do
not approve the same, the lessee cannot insist upon
the issue being made. One arbitrator is to be chosen
by each of the parties to the lease and the third by
the two so chosen, or by the State Board of Railroad
Commissioners or by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court.
The lease of the Brooklyn City Railroad to the
Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company is not equally
satisfactory in these respects. The contract provides
that whenever the lease is terminated, by limitation
or otherwise, the City road shall reimburse the Heights
Company for all outlay made on the property of the
City Company for capital accounts since the lease
began. The City Company has no chance from time
to time to inquire into this charge against it, and need
not be consulted with regard to intended capital
expenditures, except in the single instance of the
construction of “ any branch or extension.” It must
furthermore wait until the expiration of the lease be
fore a settlement is made. Meantime this item, which
appears to its debit in the balance sheet of the Brook
lyn Heights Company, has been growing during the
four years the lease has been in effect, from $2,012,826 on June 30 1895 to $2,821,704 on June 30
1896, to $3,698,345 on Dec. 31 1897. We do not
mean to imply that a single dollar of this sum
does not stand for improvements and additions
for which the City Company should rightfully pay,
nor that the present managers of either corporation
are responsible for the wording of the lease.
But
assuredly it would be better for both parties if the
construction accounts could be settled at short inter
vals, as is done under the West End lease, in place of
being allowed to remain as a possible cause of dispute
after the lapse of many years. The lease, to be sure,
pi’ovides for the appointment of arbitrators to adjust
disputes, but this fact does not make the item an
entirely satisfactory asset for the lessee, or a desirable
deferred liability for the City Company.*
In the West End lease the Elevated Company has
the right to decide whether the issue shall be of stock
or of bonds and to fix the rate of interest which the
bonds shall bear, but it is provided that “ no bonds
shall be issued in excess of the outstanding capital
stock” of the West End Company. Nor shall any
bonds be issued to become payable after the expiration
of the lease without the consent of the lessor. No
bonds shall be sold at less than par, and all new issues
shall be payable in “ lawful money” unless used to
refund gold bonds. It will be seen, therefore, that
with regard to the right to capitalize expenditures on
its account, the West End Company has far from sur
rendered entire control to the lessee. On the contrary
it has the right to require that its securities shall be
issued only for value received and under the limita
tions laid down.
The expenditures, also, which the lessee can capital
ize for account of the West End Company are not
left to the discretion of any one, but are specifically
described as the following : “ Permanent additions,
alterations and improvements,” viz.:
1.
2.
3.
4.
o.
6.
7.
The abolition of grade crossings.
Additional rolling stock and its equipment.
Additional track mileage and its equipment.
Additional real estate.
Additional stations, and power and car houses.
Additional bridges, buildings and other structures.
Renewals of, or substitutions for, stations, bridges,
buildings and other structures, track and equipment,
power houses and equipment, car houses and equip
ment, “ so far as the cost of such renewals or sub
stitutions exceeds the cost, when new, of the things
renewed or the things replaced.”
It is impossible of course to mention all the pro
visions, which with the foregoing aim to insure that
only genuine additions shall be the subject for further
security issues. We may say, however, that new track
mileage is to be deemed a permanent addition only
when increasing the mileage of the lessor at the begin
ning of the lease. When we remember that the State

REPORTS.
Thxa ia one of our four Supplements. In using the series it is to be remembered that they are inter-dependent
publications, complete only as a whole. If utilized together, and with the fresh items of news the Chronicle contains from
week to week, the investor will have all the information he needs in seeking a safe and remunerative lodgment for his money.
Street Railways forcibly illustrate this inter-dependence. Such roads obviously rely for their income, and therefore in
great part for the value o f their securities, upon the population and activity of the country they serve. Hence constant
reference to our S t a t e a n d C i t y S u p p l e m e n t will be found necessary by those wishing to purchase the stocks and bonds o f
street roads. Population, assessed valuation, tax rate, total debts of the counties, cities and minor municipalities are given a t
e agth in that publication, every one of which items is an essential fact contributing more or less to any correct estimate o f
th e amount o f suburban travel a given road commands.
The A b b r e v ia t i o n s used in our Street Railway statements will be found explained in a table immediately following the
last statement in this Supplement.
