Mathews (Vice-President of Standard Gas) indicated as its selling price, that is would share for Louisville of Kentucky stock (including its invest¬ Kentucky West Virginia Co.) after all taxes, if any, it is estimated that t Standard Gas would realize approximately $10,300,000 from, the sale of Louisville of Kentucky and the liquidation of Louis¬ ville of Delaware. However, should the discussion with the city offi¬ cials of Louisville fail to materialize in a sale to the city, the record indicates that aside from any difference in the proceeds if the securi¬ ties were distributed .to the. public there would be substantial distribu¬ tion costs, and thus Standard Gas would not realize as high a figure." All proceeds of the sale of capital assets by Standard, other than 42,090 shares of Oklahoma Gas & Electric common which standard has heretofore contracted to sell, will be applied to the payment of the accrued Interest on, and the principal of, the bank notes. In a dissenting opinion, Judge Healy disagreed with the majority in its conclusion that any part of the new common stock of Standard Gas should go to stockholders junior to the prior preference stock. Judge Healy contended that the prior preference stockholders are entitled to be compensated in full for their rights before the junior preferred stock or the common stock is accorded any participation. —V. 160, p. 2115. $25 per in ment Standard Oil CoA 9 •iNet operating income, income Earnings per common share —.
