''The applicant solicited bids for the purchase of the certificates trom 29 bankers, brokers and insurance companies,,, and received in response thereto one bid, that being from Halsey, Stuart & Co., Inc., on behalf of itself and 16 associates, at 100.125 plus accrued divi¬ dends from May 1, 1943. At-this price the average annual cost of the proceeds would be approximately 2.98%. "As the, proposed equipment is to be purchased without making the customary down payment, the applicant furnishes the following in explanation of its reasons for this procedure. By omitting such payment, which in this instance would amount to approximately $2,000,000 for a 20% down payment, the applicant could use this sum to purchase $4,772,000 of its refunding and general mortgage series F bonds, bearing a higher interest rate, and selling currently much below par. Such a purchase would effect an annual interest reduction of $238,600, or $2,386,000 for the. 10-year life of' the equipment trust certificates. However, as the bonds mature in 1996, the reduction would continue beyond the life of the certificates and greatly exceed the amount indicated. Deducting the dividends pay¬ able, on the equipment trust certificates would make the net differ¬ ence for the 10-year period $1,797,500. "During the past two years the applicant has used Its cash funds to retire indebtedness aggregating $18,558,255, of which $5,825,284 were retired in 1941 and $12,732,971 in 1942. Equipment obligations accounted for $5,273,325 of the 1941 total and $5,272,830 of the 1942 total.

The 10-year depression, ended only by ' our own entry into the war, was considered to be temporary, but its results were crystallized in a capital structure entailing in our case the destruction of some $150,000,000 of actual investment. The war, we hope, is temporary; but the 'up-swing' should be reflected in any estimate of the capitalizable value of the company's properties. "So far as the stockholders are concerned, the Rock Island case differs in one respect from the Milwaukee and Western Pacific cases. In our case, the Commission found that, on gross revenues of $100,000,000, a normal year would produce earnings available for interest of approximately $11,000,000. As a matter of fact, in 1941, gross earn¬ ings of $96,962,498 produced a net income before interest of $18,149,929, which is about 65% in excess of the Commission's estimate. In reaching this estimate of $11,000,000, the Commission not only closed its eyes to the existing earning power, as the current earnings proved, but, gave no consideration to the increased efficiency of operation resulting from the expenditure of some $50,000,000 in .additions and betterments to the property and in the purchase of new equipment. The very remarkable earnings described above are in part attributable to this improvement program, as well as to the increase in traffic resulting from the war.

As a result of such conversations, application was made to the SEP for approval of a plan under which the corporation would divest itself of certain securities and other assets, pay its indebtedness and dis¬ tribute its remaining assets to its stockholders, and, as a final step, either dissolve or merge into one of Its subsidiary companies. Such application was filed with the Commission on Dec, 31, 1942 and the Commission entered an order for a hearing on the plan and instituted 1 proceedings against Federal Water and Gas Corp. and all of its sub¬ sidiaries under Section 11 (b) of the Holding Company Act. • Thereafter a ,hearing was held on Jan. 18, 1943 at the office of the Commission in Philadelphia and on Feb. 10, 1943 the Commission handed down its findings and opinion and order approving the matters presented at such hearing.

In view of the favorable consummation of this sale, and'the interest shown by other prospective purchasers in the securities of subsidiary companies of the corporation, the officers had reason to believe that the other sales which would be required under a plan such as that proposed could be made at advantageous prices.

There was an excellent piarket for securities of municipalities and districts and such munici¬ palities and districts were potential buyers of water properties owned by the corporation. And further, Supplement R of the Internal Revenue Code had been amended by the Revenue Act of 1942 to permit special treatment for gains realized by public utility holding companies and their subsidiaries which sell or exchange properties or securities of their systems in compliance with the' integration provisions of the Holding Company Act and an order of the Securities'and Exchange Commission.

Mr. Gavin attributed a large measure of the credit for this achievement to "the cooperation of shippers, the armed forces and the Office of Defense Transportation. .

Despite advancing costs of materials and supplies, higher wages and taxes, the railroad's net income, $29,054,021, was the largest in its liistory, and Mr. Gavin pointed out that' this has helped the Great Northern "partially to recover from the setbacks suffered during the depression years."

The D L & W., it is stated, will issue $6,000,000 of the first mort¬ gage 5s'and $4,000,000 of the second mortgage bonds. A special sinking fund will be established for the retirement of these bonds until such time as the Lackawanna can reach agreement with its other leased line roads and a general sinking fund provision can be set up. Under the sinking fund agreement 18% of net earnings will be applied to retirement of the bonds with a decrease in the sinking fund rate every time $1,000,000 of bonds has been retired. . The Lackawanna, it is said, will pay 50% of the accrued Fedeia income taxes on the New York Lackawanna & Western stock andjhe leased line company will pay the balance out of the contingent interest paid on the second mortgage bonds. It is estimated that for about, four years all the contingent interest will be devoted to income tax pay¬ the New York of Directors 25,436,607 —— Equipment rents^—net credit Joint facility rents—net credit Pursuant bentures New ■■/r, North (6) 1941 76,781 income— 1747. oper. 157, 231,767 1942 1943 42,081,454 13,404,070 —♦. ■ $2,281,690 $13,463,455 — $234,123 75,451 — January ry. —V. exp . railway railway 81,047 recently served upon company North American 31,804 : — oper. ry.
