Accordingly, in the above the last day of the week in all cases has to be estimated.
In the elaborate detailed statement, however, which we present further below
we are able to give the final and complete results for the week previous—the week
ended May 29. For that week there was an increase of 53.7%, the aggregate 6f
clearings for the whole country having amounted to $9,375,056,584, against $6,099,601,192 in the same week in 1942. Outside of this city there was an increase of 38.3%,
"the bank clearings at this centre having recorded a gain of 68.6%.
We group the
cities according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located, and from
this it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals register
an expansion of 68.7%, in the Boston Reserve District of 29.4%
and in the Phila¬
delphia Reserve District of 25.0%. In the Cleveland Reserve District the totals show
a
gain of 40.4%, in the Richmond Reserve District of 37.6% and in the Atlanta

American Power & Light Co. and the Electric Power

companies because some other remedy could be found which would

Companies Act.

As a hearing opened before a three-judge tribunal in the U. S.

equipment is not acquired by the vendors on or prior to April 1, 1944,
or
such later date as may be mutually
agreed upon between the
vendors, the trustee, and the applicant, such equipment will be elim¬
inated from the trust agreement and lease, and the total principal
amount of certificates that may have been issued will be reduced to
7/ an amount equal to the nearest multiple of $1,000 greater than the
estimated total cost of the equipment not so delivered.
''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

However,
on
decisions in the

stockholders; and that, when prosperity returns (during
the very pendency of the proceedings)
the stockholders are denied
all benefit of the increased revenue, on the ground that the
'up¬
swing' is 'temporary.'
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.
It seems to us that

Proceedings Under the Plan—The corporation is proceeding under the
to dispose of the securities which it owns of
water companies, and on Feb. 13,M943 sold the securities of Union
Water Service Co. for the sum of $1,200,000.
The proceeds of this sale
and of other sales/ if and when made, will be used to retire the de¬
bentures of the corporation and it is presently contemplated, although
the plan cannot be consummated without the approval of the SEC, that
the remainder may be used to purchase additional common stock of
Southern Natural Gas Co. to put that company in funds with which it
can round out the present system of production/ transmission and dis¬
tribution of natural gas.

looking to a voluntary plan of compliance
by the corporation with Section 11, for itself and for its subsidiaries.
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.

preferred stock on the same basis as common stock was issued
to similar preferred stockholders in the said reorganization.
The number of shares of additional common stock to be issued would
be 73,859 with an aggregate par value of $369,295. . It is believed that
the officers and directors, upon the issuance of such stock would be
entitled to receive payment on the above shares for all dividends de¬
clared since Oct. 31, 1941.
Such dividends at Dec. 31, 1942 aggregated
70 cents per share or $51,701.30, which amount when paid would be
charged to earned surplus.

In view of the favorable consummation of this sale, and'the interest
shown by other prospective purchasers in the securities of subsidiary

The management made an investigation to determine if it would be
practicable to conform to the views,of the Commission without detriment to stockholders of the corporation.
General conditions were con¬
sidered to be somewhat propitious if a market could be found for the
securities to be disposed of under such a plan.
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.

The contemplated proceedings against Federal Water and Gas Corp.
would have required it to conform to the integration provisions of the
Holding Company Act by disposing of the securities which it owned of
all water companies and of such other securities as the Commission
should determine to be non-retainable under the provisions! of the Act.

The management did hot contemplate that the year 1942 would be a
year in which substantial progress could be made on any such plan,
believing that the energies of the country would be sufficiently absorbed

this achievement to "the cooperation of shippers, the armed forces
and the Office of Defense Transportation.
.
"The railroad's capacity has been increased by expediting repairs,
modernizing equipment, adopting numerous conservation measures, by
the fine cooperation of employees generally, and the extraordinary ef¬
forts of many of them."
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."

Lackawanna & Western RR. on June 2
accepted the compromise terms offered by the Delaware Lackawanna &
Western RR. in settlement of the litigation over Federal income taxes,
according to th New York "Sun" of same date.
' •
Holders of the New York Lackawanna & Western 5%
stock will receive 3% in first mortgage 5%
bonds and 2 k in second,
mortgage 5'k
contingent: interest bonds, which will Lave preference
over other contingent obligations of the Lackawanna, the
Sun ^states.
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¬
