Chairman F I*.«llcott of Uie Richmond
Terminal reorganlxatinn committee ar
rived in town late yesterday. He said
that the committee had not considered
any change or modification of the plan,
and that bn thought the security holders
would support it. He thought that
about tel,000,000 of the underlying se
curities might remain out; but tbelr
assent was not essential to the success
of the plan.
11 waa oflicially announced that tba
right of subscription to the cash fund
offered under the plan to the depositors
of stock and 5 percent bonds will be
extended to such date as may be adver
tised by the committee after April Nth.
A nother reason that is urged for the
success of the plan la that the negotiable
receipts of tlie Central Trust company
have a good market; there being no risk
incurred by depositing, that dr|>oalts
wilt bo fair by current low prices; that
there aril! be a rush to deposit during
this week and that large blocks of higher
securities committed to the plan and de-
isite of the East Tennessee stocks will
secure to tlie committee absolute control
of that road.
They figured out that the new fours
will pay their interest and ahnuld go to
To or 80 and the preferred to 33 or :Uk It
Is said that the First National bank yes
terday deposited a block of Terminal six
l>er cent, bonds with the Central Trust
company, under the plan of reorganiza
tion. This report could not be verified,
although it la admitted that securities
to the extent of 810,000,000 have been
depot! ted.
President Comer of the Georgia Cen
tral, arrived In town yesterday, and
rumor was busy about the significance
of his presence. It was supposed that
bis mission waa to discuss the future
prospects of hli road; so far as rulallona
with the Richmond Terminal are con
corned.
The Terminal company having been
enjoined from voUng Its holdings’of
UeorglrfCentral stock, It was believed
that U would be glad to dispose of them;
and the Georgia Central’s president waa,
it is said, in conference with the II rm of
Speyer & Co.
It Is declared that he had offered
$7,000,000 of the Terminals Ova par cant
bonds for the 40,000 shares of the Geor
gia Central stock held by the Terminal
company.
