TpOl information regarding these Bonds, reference
J- is made to a letter from Mr. M. S. Sloan, President
of the Company, which is here briefly summarised,
and copies of which may be had upon request:
Brooklyn Edison Company, Inc., docs all the elec
tric light and power business in the Borough of
Brooklyn (except the Twenty-ninth Ward), City of
New York, serving a population estimated at over
1,600,000. The Company or its predecessors have
been successfully engaged in supplying electric
light and power since 1885.
The General Mortgage Bonds are the direct obliga
tions of Brooklyn Edison Company, Inc., and are
secured by a mortgage on all its real and personal
property now owned or hereafter acquired, subject
only to $11,096,000 underlying bonds. The Genera'
Mortgage closes the mortgages securing these under
lying bonds, no more of which may be issued.
Junior to the General Mortgage Bonds, there
are outstanding $1,693,700 Debenture Bonds and
$17,306,300 Capital Stock. Dividends have been
paid at the rate of 8 per annum since 1904. The
quoted prices for these securities indicate a present
market equity over and above these General Mort
gage, teonds of about $18,000,000.
The Company has authorized $5,000,000 Series B
6 Bonds and the Public Service Commission for
the First District of the State of New York has ap
proved their issuance; additional Bonds may be
issued for refunding purposes and for 80 of the
cost or reasonable value, whichever is less, of addi
tional property or securities of similar companies.
In no event may additional Bonds be issued for
property or securities unless net earnings, as defined
in the mortgage, have been at least twico the annual
interest charges upon all outstanding underlying
mortgage bonds and all Bonds issued under this
General Mortgage, together with those applied for.
Additional Bonds may be issued only upon authori
zation of the Public Service Commission.
The table below shows the growth of the Company's
earning power and the favorable relation between
income and interest charges on its funded debt:

That is the trend of sound trade.
That is the consensus of opinion expressed
in letters we recently received from hundreds
of leading manufacturers and wholesalers
in every part of the country.
Men with the vision to foresee any reactive
tendencies of business usually have the fore
sight to safeguard their resources against
such reaction. They welcome the complete
Protection and Sen'ice afforded by the
American Company's Credit Insurance.

SLUMP IN AMERICAN
LOCOMOTIVE PROFITS
Earnings on Common Equal to
$6.81, Against $24.17 in
First Half of Yoar
New Yotk, Mnrch 2. Surplus ram
itiRs of the American Locomotive Co.
dropped from $0,402.00S n the first
half of 1010 to $1,702,170 for the last
six months of the year. Tho respective
equivalents on the common stock, nfter
preferred dividend requirements, were
$24.17 n sharo and 50.81 n share.
Gross earnings for the last half of
the year, amounted to $20.0a0,0R3,
compared with $4n.4M,40S for the first
half. For the full twelve .months tho
total earnings were $70,113,681, con
trasted with $108,023,521 for the fiscal
jenr ended Juno 30, last. The report
issued yesterday was in conformity with
the company's previously announced
plans to make, its fiscal year corre
spond with Us calendar year.
Tho balance available for dividends
for the calender year was equal to
$30.08 a share on the common stock,
compared with $41,150 n share earned
In thp last fiscal year. Commenting on
the showing for the Inst half of the
year, Andrew Fletcher, president of the
company, said :
"Tho business of the company for
tho six months ended December 111,
1019, as was anticipated by the man
agement, wns of low volume due to
virtually n complctp nbsenco of orders
from our domestic rnilwnys. The orders
taken were largely from foreign rail
ways, and were both on a cash and on
n deferred credit basis. A larger volume
of foreign orders on a deferred credit
basis could have been taken, but the
securities offered were of u character
that in our opinion represented un
usual commercial risks and were there
fore declined.
"The plants averaged for the six
months period but 20.2 per rent ton
nage production of their rated capacity
and for the month of November, 1010,
but 12.C per tent of capacity."
Trom the $3.0.'18,?i00 profits of the
last half year Mr. Fletcher said that
there had been deducted n reserve of
S4O1.30O for income and profit taxes.
This left a net profit of $2,577,170,
compared with $C,017.00S for the first
half of the year.
