l Commenting on the suggestion of
;thc t‘ommiSsion that the stock now
in the hands of public be validated,
and the company be authorized to
lisstte long term bonds for the pur-
lpose of funding its present floating
debt the leport says
”This will not only determine the
status of the. stock now in the hands
of the public, but will fix with cer-
tainly the amount of indebtednesa
which may be funded by the railroad,
.for the law provides that the com-
1pauy may, with the approval of the
Public Service Commission. issue
bonds up to twice the. amount of its
capital stock.
"The statute. however. expressly
provides that the validating of these
securities does not give the company
,the right to have them considered a
‘basis for the determination of proper
rates and charges." '
In connection with the plan to an-
thorize the railroads to issue pre-
ferred stock on that same general,
condition that preferred stock is now
issued by street railways. the com-
mittee says:
