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

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

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,

it seems clear that it would be a
mistake, in the present tide of apparently revived earning power,
to
ignore the fact that they have a very heavy burden of debt
and that it may be a crippling burden
in the future, if earnings
should radically decline.
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.
It is clearly the sane and sound
policy to pursue;

Overfield-Weigle stockholder suits will not
be heard in U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals here before July, 1943, and
possibly not until October.
The reason for this is that Judge Welsh

the time for Pennsylvania RR. to file the

Terminal Coal Corp. is largely attributable to North American Coal
(Corp., The Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway Co., and their former
officers and directors.
Pennroad is alleged, after its acquisition of a
majority of the stock of the P. & W. Va., to have conspired with
others
and
breached
supposed
fiduciary
relationships
toward
the
Terminal Company.

Sales of gas for industries was 47.67%
more than in 1941.
The industrial sales were the largest in any year
due to the demand by war production plants.
A riumber of manufac¬
turers using large quantities of gas located in Public Service territory
during 1942 and other important Industries increased their annual
requirements. Gas sold to residential customers, exclusive of building
heating, was 2.92%/ riiore than in 1941. Gas meters in service Dec. 31,
1942, numbered 906,670, a net gain of 16,392 for the year.

Gas revenue showed a greater
proportional gain than revenue from electricity. The reason for this
was
that while the demand for current supplied to war industries
increased, the demand for power to industries riot engaged in war
production decreased,
Also, commercial sales of electricity declined
because of dimout regulations and the closing down of many retail
establishments, which suffered 'from war restrictions.

report for 1942 discloses that although total revenues
of the corporation and subsidiary companies for 1942 were $167,514,031,
ah increase of $15,938,816 over 1941, tlvs gain was more than offset
by the effect of higher costs of fuel, other materials and labor, the
substant'ally heavier tax burden and an increase in income deduc¬
tions,
As
a
result, net income of the corporation and subsidiary
companies last year decreased $4,514,904 compared with 1941.
Taxes for 1942 were $43,849,564, an increase over 1941 of $8,094,289.
These taxes are equivalent to approximately three times the preferred

and 10 under construction in
the United States, and four in process of construction in Russia.
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
