It Js aieo provided that 25,135 shares shall be deposited with the Donohoe- Kelly Banking Company before the agreement goes into effect and over 30,000 shares have been so deposited.

In regard to the net earning power, the net earnings are placed at $36,000 per year; from this is deducted the 5 per cent dividend on the $200,000 preferred, or $10,000. leaving $26.- 000. This is 123 per cent of $208,000, which will be given in the common stock at the rate | of $4 and a small fraction on each share.
