A fight between the bondholders
and certificate holders of the A., B.
& A. railroad anil Its various prop
erties Is Indicated In. a petition filed
in the Federal Court In Atlanta by
a representative of the certificate
holders. Judge Purdee denied the
petition.
■—ie petition was filed by the re
ceivers’ certificate holders’ protective
committee and the Columbia Knick
erbocker Trust Company. They al
lege that some' time ago they enter
ed Into an agreement with the com
mitter representing the bondholders
under which the railroad was to be
re-organized. Underthe agreement,
f ho certificate holders were to bid In
the property at public sale, and then
wore to surrender their'certificates,
receiving 60 per cent. ]n cash for
'hem end the balance In rtuck of the
•’cw company.
It was Impossible, however, to un
derwrite the plan, the holders say,
and under the court’s ruling the
property will be sold free of the cer
tificate holders' ’lens. This, they
say, would enable the bond holders
to acquire It at a fraction of lta
value. ,t
They aBked the court to modify
this order so that ar.y purchaser Of
the property would buy It subject
to the holders’ liens. As It Is, they
claim, the holders would only have
a claim against tho proceeds of tho
sale.
In refusing to grant the petition.
Judge Pardee held that hla previous
order simply adjusted the equities
between the different sets of bond
holders.
