through
renegotiation of contracts, of which there is deducted a
$3,592,002 credit for Federal income and excess profits taxes paid on
amount of refund, which leaves a proposed settlement' of $1,199,819
which would still be due and payable.
Deducting the latter figure
from the $1,749,897 net profit before renegotiation of contracts, there
would remain a balance of $550,078 which the company would place in
reserve for post-war jobs.

Government, after deduction of Federal income
and excess profits taxes applicable thereto, a net amount of $109,250,
which has been charged against earnings as an expense in 1943.
The
1943 U. S. Government contracts may also be subject to renegotiation,
but the effect, if any, cannot be determined at this time.
The inventory item on the company's balance sheet shows an increase
pf $16,242,195.10 compared with Dec. 31, 1942, due primarily to higher
cost of leaf tobacco.
This, together with expansion in sales, required
additional money.
In September, 1943, directors authorized a five-year
revolving credit arrangement- with 14 depository banks.
Under the
•terms of this agreement.loans will be made available to company by
'these banks, as needed,; over a period of five years, up to an aggregate
of $75,000,000.
This llexible credit arrangement is considered desirable
for the company, particularly under war-time conditions.

The second major group of utility properties now controlled by. The
Middle West Corp. lies in the States of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and
Louisiana.
Most of these properties are owned by subsidiaries of
Central and South West Utilities Co., a subsidiary of The Middle West
Corp., and itself a registered public utility holding company.
Although
The Middle-West Corp. expressed a willingness to divest itself of this
group cf properties, it insisted that these utility properties could be
retained together within a single system.
The staff of the Commission
in the presentation of the case recommended that the Commission find
that these properties constitute at least five separate svstems.
After
studying the record it appeared tentatively to the Commission that the
major properties formed two integrated systems.
One of these con¬
