Interborough Consolidated Corporation To the Holders of Interborough-Metropolitan Company Collateral Trust Four-and-a-Half Per Cent. Gold Bonds The investigation of Messrs. Stone & Webster and Price, Waterhouse & Co., of the properties controlled by Interborough Consolidated Corporation (successor to Interborough-Metropolitan Company), to which reference was made in our circular letter of April 2, 1919, has been completed so far as the subway and elevated lines of Interborough Rapid Transit Company are con cerned. A copy of the condensed preliminary report of Messrs. Stone & Webster will be furnished to bondholders upon application to the Secretary of the Committee. In view of the critical condition of the property as disclosed by the report of Messrs. Stone & Webster, it is of the utmost im portance that the Committee should'promptly represent as large a proportion of the bonds as possible. Bondholders are accordingly offered the opportunity of depositing their bonds without penalty up to September 15, 1919. , Bondholders by depositing their bonds do not obligate them selves to accept any Plan of Readjustment or Reorganization that the Committee may ultimately adopt, as the Deposit Agreement, dated February 27, 1919, provides an opportunity upon the terms stated in the Agreement for depositors to withdraw their bonds witliin thirty days after the promulgation of a plan. Negotiable certificates which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, are issued against deposited Bonds. Bondholders are urged to deposit their bonds with Guaranty Trust Company of New York, the Depositary of the Com mittee, at the earliest possible date. $30,408,000 of bonds (over forty-seven per cent.) have al ready been deposited.
