Plan of Reorganization for Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad
CrHaiturbs critiques the proposed plan of reorganization set forth in morning pins and securities, arguing the 5 percent bonds plus preferred and common stock yield more charges than past earnings. He notes net earnings of about 9 a year, bonds of 40,000 at 200,000, and questions the committee’s reliance on earnings from the orange crop to support a 5 percent rate. The critic warns that issuing 3,600,000 bonds with 4 percent would still strain finances, risking another reorganization.
