This plan has been adopt ed by the signatures of a majority ct the committee and a copy thereof has been mailed to each depositor. Bonds of the face value of 4.310,l'Oi) of the total outstanding issue of $4,442,000 have been deposited with the Mer cantile Trust company of San Fran cisco. The plans may be summarized by stating that the holders of the 5 per cent bonds of the company, maturing in 1952 will become the owners of the properties, subject to a small is sue of underlying bonds, and that the present common stock will be elimin ated. In outlining this plan the com mittee reports that to date $4,310, 000 of the total outstanding issue of $4,4 42,000 California-Oregon Power company 5 percent bonds have been deposited with the Mercantile Trust company under the provisions of the trust agreement, hence 4t follows that the reorganization plan will be car ried into effect. To accomplish the reorganization a new corporation is to be organized to acquire the properties and assume the liabilities of the present com pany, other than the 5 percent bonds, which will be used to effect the pur chase of the property. The present holders of the r per cent bonds will receive stock in the new company in exchange for their bonds in the amount of $"00 of new preferred stock and ftOOt) of com mon stock for each $ 1000 bond, plus unpaid coupons. Value of the company's properties is placed at $2.9s."i,rl2 in Oregon and $4,220,240 in California, with the Dunsmuir water property, valua tion not yet approved by the railroad commission, of $127, .!M. Since June, 1919, the company's net revenues have been over $40,000 monthly, and an increase should re sult after re-organlzation. Monthly net revenues for the current year are more than last year, and it is esti mated that net earnings for 1920 will total $4X0,000. Tho re-orgatilzatlon committee comprises Y. h. limbeck. J. V.
