A wumbor of theso bond- holdors nro residonts of ‘this city, and much in- dignation haa beon oxpre:aaod at the action pro- posed by tho Michigan Central Railrond Com- pany.’ Tho history of thiy case is substantially aa follows: The Jollot & Northern Indinna Railrond was built twonty yenrs ago., It stock, divided into 8,000 shares, wau valuod ;% $300,000. In build- ing tho rond it becamo ncosssary to iesue mort- gogo bonds to the mnount of §800,000. ‘Tho rato of intorcst was fixod at 8 por cont. Those bonds woro negotintod chiefly on the strongth of o lenso contrnct with the Michi- gon Contrsl Rallrond. This wns a perpotual loneo, and the Michigan Contral wns to pay yenrly $2,000 n milo, or §89,000 for tho leaso of tho rond. With this monoy tho 8 por cont hl!vox\- est on tho ba nds m\;l mzun s to be pmd]. he bonds wore to run for twenty yoars, and wore conanuontly ymyabla on guly. 10, 1674, s tho somi-annual co upons bave fallen dne they have beon paid out of tho monoy obinined for the Michigan Cential's Ieaso. As the lnst coupon beeamo due the bondholders Lecame anxious for the redomption o { their bonds. But the Joliot & Northorn Indi'ans Railroad was, of courso, unnblo to redeom thom. Monntimo, & lury 10 portion of the eapital stock of tho rond hnd bo o taken by bonyy stockbold- ors in tho Michigan Central, and slifl othor stack hnd been bought *up, us opportunity offered. Accordingly it hapy rouod, when the bonds bo- camo duo, that of _tho 3,000 shares capital stock of tho Jolict & Northern Indinna Railroad, 2,243 shinres woro owr 1od_by the Michigan Con’ tral. A meoting of tls 3 Directors of the Micm- gan Central wag Lold & 1 Aug, 4, to deade on a courso of action with ra lation to tho Joliot Rond. It was then decidod to issue a circular to the Joliot bondholdors, statit 1 tho action which the Michigan Contral was wil lug to take. "Lha posi- tion of tho Joliet Comp sny toward the bonde Loldors was thuy slated: “Fho Company, until 3 stated dale, unlesn tho mortgago 18 foreclosed, Will ba in the teesipt of an aunnl ront from 4Uo Michigan Contral Railroad Company of $80,00'. It will owo the morigaga bondholdors a dobt , that has matured, of $H00,000. The mortgage bondholders must eithor negotiato with the Joh'ot & Northern lo- dinna lnilrond Company for a: renawal of the $800,000 loan, upon torms to be sigreed upon, or & foreclosuro must tako place, wirich will tormi- nato the leaso, and leave the bondholders a prop- orty probably insuflicient to ropay the debi for which it is morlgaged. “It is clearly, then, for the interest of both tho "bondholders’ aud tho Joliet & Northern In- diann Railrond ComSnuy that the Ionro shiould not bo oxtingnished Ly foreclosuro, xud that #ome now srrangement should be made for an oxtension or 8 reuownl of the mortgage bonds. With regard to tha stock of the Com}muy, thore a0 3,000 shares of capital stock, of whick the Michigan Central Railroad Company holds 2,233 shares, leaving 757 sharen in tho hands of pri- vato stockhaldors who toay, by the tenor of the cortificates, have boen led 1o supposo that tho regulsr continuation of dividends upon the samo deponded_solely upon tho lonse boing car- Ticd out by tho Michigan Coutral Railroad Com- pany, in view of which such stockboldars are ontitled to special congideration, if it can prop- orly bo accorded to them. ‘Ta further which viow, enid stockholders should be allowod to ox- change their stock for bouds, each fivo shares ot stock Loing ontitled to n bond of $500. 1tis therefore the clear duty of the Joliot & North- orn Indinua Railrond Cowpany, if suol exten- sion or rouownl i Lud, or oxclinuge of tock mado, to appropriate the outire rental—nafter ro- serving a sullicieut mnount for the nocossary in- cidental oxponsos—first, to tho payment of the interest ou the renawal bonde, and the bonda issued in exchange for tho 757 shares of stock, and the residuo to form a sinking fund for the payment of thoso bouds when thoy mature, It wus therefore voted - that this Company pro- noses to tha bondholdoms Lo ivsuo now bonds of 91,000 each, numbored from 1 to 800 inclusive,. payablo in twenty vears from duly 10, 1874, when the old bonds matured, or nooner if tho accumu-- Iation of the sinking fund shail vuflica, with in- terest nt the rate of 6 por cent, payablo semi- annuelly, This Company also proposes to the Lolders of tho 757 shinres of stook, to issua for onch fivo sharos of stock surrendered a 6 por cont bond of §500, payablo as above, conditionad upon the earrying out of the ahove proposed ex- chango of bonds.
