Thoe meeting had baon called in order that the Boards might consider what sction it was ad- visablo for them to take in rogard to the now Talirond or Grangor laws of Xows, Minnesots, and Wisconain, ] : EFFECT OF LIVING UP TO THE LAWS., Mossrs, Morrill and Portor made statements to the effect that it wonld be impossiblo to oporate the ronds of which thoy have charge undor these laws, or to run thom so a8 to pay exponaes, They agreed in giving it as their beliof that, it the laws were lived up to, the ronds would no mora than pay oxpenaes, sud certainly could not pay anything to-the stoclholders, even if thoy could pay tho intorest on the bonds. They said that fiw oporating oxpensos wero fully 76 por cont of the gross recelpts, and that the rednction of froights resulting from sun enforcement of these laws would diminiuh'tho rocelpts 26 por cent, which would result almoat inevitably fn a failure to pnx intorost on the' bonds, 8o that tho ronds would bo lost to tho stockholdors sud- takon possession of by tho bondholders. - LEGAL OPINIONS. 2 Tho laws in question wero thon read to tho lawyera presont, and wore carofully considered- by them.
