In hereinafter as indicated, it is unecessary to summarize such testimony in this report. The applicant shows that the issue and sale of $14,000,000 of its first consolidated mortgage 3%% bonds, series D, maturing Feb. 1, 1958, at 96% of par, will result in a discount of $560,000, to which be added charge that annum; $12,000 for for printing, amortization legal discount of the annual interest expenses, amounts charge at 3%% that the $38,000 per etc.; to to $490,000 amounts total annual charge for amortization of discount and interest of $528,000, which may be compared with the present interest charge of 4% on the collateral trust notes in the amount of $560,000 per annum, or a or a reduction of $32,000 in annual charges; and that State mortgage tax of approximately $28,000 and the original issuance tax of $15,400 are chargeable to income for the year in which paid. As presented by the applicant the net premium to be paid and the cost of acquiring the collateral trust notes would be on the basis of annum, New' York Federal .. at bonds rate to maturity, whereas the sale of the series D would.produce an effective rate of 3.85% to maturity, a 96 York New State 3.89%, mortgage 1%, of or Federal tax, giving consideration to the tax, printing mort¬ issuance legal expenses, etc., the effective annual charge would alleged saving from the proposed refinancing of three bonds, gages, . interest 3.92% a saving of seven one-hundredths an one-hundredths of 1%, or $4,200 per annum. 1 is in substantial agreement that there will be some from the proposed financing, provided consideration is given to an assumed reduction in the excess pr^it taxes which may be assessed on applicant's earnings for the year 1943, and the pos¬ sibility of such taxes in all subsequent years is ignored. However, if applicant's earnings subsequent to 1943 should be subject to, an excess profit levy, then the asserted saving would become a loss. In giving consideration to the record as presented, we cannot under¬ The evidence saving slight take to indulge in speculation as to the upon the effect of possible future taxes would commit us to the because the expenses policy of incurred therewith would reduce the amount of applicant's lawful On reflection, we are not convinced that a speculative reduction taxes. in which issue of securities merely connection in issue, proposed approving an is taxes satisfactory a this, security issue.. The evidence shows basis upon ■' ■ which to give our approval \ of ■. of notes have been purchased from the Finance Corporation at 103%% of par, or at a premium of $507,500, to which should be added accrued interest at 4,e from Jan. 1, 1943, to date of purchase on Feb. 27, 1943; (b) that the $14,000,000 of bonds have been sold subject to our approval at 96 and interest from Feb. 1, 1943, to date of delivery. On this basis the proceeds from the sale will be $13,440,000, from which there should be deducted New York mortgage tax $28,000, United States (a) that the $14,000,000 original issuance tax $15,400, cost of printing, etc., $4,500, legal ex¬ $8,000, leaving $13,384,100 as the net proceeds from the proposed issue which, together with treasury cash in the amount of $1,123,400, will be used to meet the cost of $14,507,500 for retiring the $14,000,000 penses 1953 trust maturities. to 1958 notes, of the These were (1) indebtedness thereby affording the extension now represented Exhibits respect by more 15-year period to 1958 all indebtedness maturing therein, including proposed series D bon&s,v.,aijd thereafter,, the next bond, maturity notes. presented the to the hearing show computations of costs in bond issue and pretent data from which it of Jan. 1, 1953, the applicant would have at proposed determined be can that as interest on the collateral trust notes, whereas on the paid $1,260,000 into the sinking fund, $4,420,174 $1,123,400 of discount, premium and expenses, or a total outlay of $6,803,574 In respect to the Proposed bonds. Of this outlay the $1,260,000 paid into the sinking fund, at redemption rates,: would reduce the principal amount of bonds outstanding from $14,000,000 to $12,765,000, a net reduction of $1,235,000 in debt. The interest payable from Jan. 1, 1943, to Jan. 1, 1953, upon the 4% collateral notes is $5,600,000, equivalent to an annual expenditure of $560,000, The interest upon the 3 VaYc bonds from Feb. 1, 1943 (date of the proposed bonds), to Feb. 1, 1958, giving effect to sinking fund payments of $140,000 per annum at the redemption rates pro¬ vided in the indenture, is $6,804,501, to which there is. added premium in the amount of $507,500, discount in> the amount of $560,000 and expenses assignable to the issue in the amount of $55,900, and sinkingfund payments in the amount of $2,100,000, or a total of $10,027,901, which is equivalent to an annual cost of $668,526.70, a part of which would be devoted to the retirement of debt. Further, the total cost of the notes to maturity, including payment and discharge of the debt, qn Jan. 1, 1953, would be $19,600,000, whereas the total cost to maturity of the proposed bonds, including paid $5,600,000 date it will have same of and interest payment and discharge of the debt, giving payments at the redemption rates stated in effect to sinking fund the indenture, will be $21,956,901, or an increased outlay of $2,356,901, The issue of the proposed bonds and the cancelation of the col¬ lateral trust notes will not result in any current reduction in appli¬ cant's funded debt. The bonds would mature in five years after the of date of maturity the outstanding notes; to of extension only five years in to be paid the bonds are proposed the premium calling the notes and the discount at which be sold necessitate expenditures which are on not warranted by an the debt and the reduction in coupon interest rate from 4 to 3 % %. Without of the convincing more danger evidence than the present record affords that underwriters are likely to injure the Erie's credit too much for its bonds, we are unable to say that its justified on that ground in declining to explore the possibility of getting a better price than 96. The evidence given to the effect that the managers considered themselves obligated to carry out arrangments made to sell at 96 because of the stage to which these had progressed when they learned of the possibility of a some¬ what better price, is more impressive.

We have noted with approval that many of the managements are avoiding this mistake and are using the favorable earnings of the present, in one way or another, to reduce fixed charges as rapidly as practicable. While stockholders may on first thought be disposed to object to such a policy, it is the stockholders who will suffer most in the event of future insolvency. They will, we believe, be shortsighted if, by insistence on immediate dividends, they jeopardize the continuance and possible expansion of a program of debt reduction.

The highest quality aviation gasoline base stock made commercially today, is made by the Houdry process, employing a synthetic catalyst. The TCC units were originally designed to use a clay catalyst, and on this basis, they would produce a base stock comparing favorably in quality with the Houdry products. Both the TCC units and the Houdry units can be easily converted, however, to the use of the new bead catalyst,; which will greatly improve their performance, beyond 'any catalytic Operation known to date. In comparison with aviation gasolines made from similar stocks by other methods, the TCC bead catalyst shows a remarkable im¬ provement in the power obtained from super-charged aircraft engines. This means either better cruising operation or better combat opera¬ tion, depending, on the results desired. Unlike other catalytic processes, the TCC unit can be economi¬ cally built and efficiently operated for small scale as well as large scale output. It uses substantially less in critical materials than other catalytic cracking units. Because of the low construction cost and flexibility, the TCC process brings catalytic refining within the 1334. 156, p. — Provision $174,786 —A—A—A—A AA—A-AA-A revenues Maintenance any , ' - Colorado ^Power.
