To meet this situation. Senators Overstreet and Born Introduced a measure Friday which has as Its object the blocking of the freeze-out Idea. The bill provides that any corporation which has issued securities or obliga tions, payable In whole or in part, out of the income of such corporation, must give income bondholders a voice In all matters pertaining to the management of such corporation or the disposition of its Income to the par value of the common stock of said corporation, as represented by the'Jioldlngs of income bondholders. Sof^ Bond History. To those who are In toudrwith the history of the Central of Georgia rail road and the financial dealings which have rAarked its career, the decision to not pay the interest on the Income bonds comes as no surprise. In fact, it had been looked for in some quarters. The history of these bonds Is an Interesting one. They amount to $15,000,000 consisting of $4,- 000,000 worth of first income, $7,000,- 000 worth of second Income and $4,- 000,000 worth of third income bonds. The third Income bonds were given to the holders of Central stock at the time of the road’s reorganization, while the second income went to the holders of debentures and the first in come to those who held bonds on short lines secured by the Central, and whidh were in the nature of second mortgage bonds. There was a time not many years ago when these third income bonds sold for about $7; the second income for about *13,.while *30 was a good price for the flrit income bonds. Why 7 Because no interest was paid on them. Wall Street Bought. A few years ago, in New York, a Central official Intimated to an At lanta man that these bonds were likely to. become more valuable. But the Atlanta man wasn't of the speculative variety and he didn’t load up on them. That the same official told the same thing to his Wall street friends Is be lieved by those In a position to know. The result was that most of the $15,- 000,000 worth changed hands at low prices. It was generally believed that the Wall street crowd took the tip and loaded up on them. Tho holders of these bonds were In fluential and It wasn’t long before the first income bonds received interest. They rose in price. Afterwards inter est was paid on first and second in come bonds. Tho-price went higher still. In 1904 full interest of 5 per cent was paid on the first Income bonds, while 2 per cent was paid on the second. In October, 1905, full In terest of 5 per cent was paid on all three closes, and the same was true in October, 1906. Then these bonds became attractive as an investment There was an un loading to people who look for invest ments and not speculations. These people could buy a bond at $60 and by receiving 5 per cent on the par value of $100, they got over 8 per cent for their money. Is It Manipulation? Now they are told there wWI be nothing doing In the interest line and the price on them will drop, of course. Many believe that it Is' Just another of those deals of hammering up and down prices—of buying while down, unloading while up and then doing the stunt over again. And those who lose are called suckers. . . It is to protect those who bought these bonds as an investment that the bill was introduced In the legislature. Most of these bonds held in Georgia are owned by Savannah people. It Is doubtful If there are $100,000 worth In Atlanta. But brokers are inclined to believe that there are at least $3 000,000 worth In Georgia, and most of them third income bonds ‘ n «£V[ bonds are too good a thing for Wall street to unload.
