- J. DA COSTA, M. D,
■ So far as the Mineliill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad
Company and the Schuylkill Haven and Lehigh River
Railroad Company are interested in tho proposed ar
rangement* the following explanations maybe of ser
vice iu leading to the formation of your judgment on the
agreement on which you are about to vote.
At present, an agreement exists between the Minehill
and Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company, and the
Schuylkill Navigation Company, which is to continue
for teu years from the 31st day of December, IS3I, under
which the latter company guarantees to the former that
the proportion of the charges imposed on coal, <&c , pass
ing over tbe Minehill road shall net to its stockholders
eight per ceut. per annum on their shares, the number
ot which i 6 limited by said agreement.
An agreement also exists between The Mineuill and
Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company and The Sohuylkill
Haven and Lehigh River Riilroad Company, under
which, upon the completion of the road of the latter Com
pany, the Minehill Company is to take a lease of said
road for 959 years, and to pay the Stockholders thereof
eight per cent, per annum in Dividends.
The Philadelphia and Heading Railroad Company have
obtained, by lease or purchase, the control of all.the
rai-roads penetrating the Coal region of Schuylkill
county, except the Minehill road, and although at pre
sent arrangements exist between.that Company and the
Schuylkill tfavigatlon Company which give equal facili
ties of access and use of .the lateral railroads, such ar
rangements are constantly liable to be broken up by ri
valries and competitions.
Should such rivalry and competition become extreme,
it is quite probable that the engagements into which the
several companies have entered could not be carried out,
and lienee it lias been deemed important to adopt some
p'ani which will give certainty and permanency to the in
comes which the Stockholders of the lateral roads are to
receive from the great trunk lines, and to keep the latter
in the best possible condition for meeting the engage
ments contained in their leases and agreements.
To effect this desirable purpose is our present object, and
the first slep in it is to consolidate and merge the Mine
hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company and the
Schuylkill Haven and Lehigh River Railroad Company.
This being accomplished, the capital-stock.of the consoli
dated company wi»l amount to $4,300,000.
This sum of $4,500,0C0 it is proposed.to capitalize into
the sum of $5.733,334 and at that rate for the Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad Company to purchase from
the Stockholders of the consolidated company their
shares of stock, on paying for the same say, $66*6
Ser share, of which Ss9“a will be in 6 per coat.
onds of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company, and $7 per share in - 6 per cent, of
Boat and Car-Loan of the Schuylkill Navigation Com*,
Panv of the year 1563. ' The Bonds so issued by the
hiladelpbia and Reading Railroad Company are to have
Fifty years to run and to be secured by a distinct pledge
of the property of the Minehill and hchuylkiU Haven
Railroad Company so that, in addition to the faith
of the Reading Railroad Company, the parties-who
accept such Bonds for their stock will have all
the security they now hold for their shares, rlt ‘s
also agreed that a Sinking Fund of sufficient amount
to pay off the said bonds at maturity shall be
provided by the Reading Railroad Company, which
shall be invested in said bonds whenever they can be
had at a price not above par, or, failing in that, in the
loans of the United States, or the State of Pennsylvania,
or the city of Philadelphia.
In addition to the faith of the Schuylkill Navigation
Company tor the payment of its Boat and Car Loan at
maturity, all the Boats.and -Railroad Cars purchased
therewith, and additional Boats and Cars heretofore
purchased by the Company, and an annual Sinking
Fund, are pledged for payment.
So that to every one who will thus sell his stock to tho
Philadelphia and Readingßailroad Company an annual
return thereon, equal to Eight per Cent, of its par value,
is fully secured. •
A reasonable time is to be allowed to tbe Stockholders
of ilio Minehill Company to sell their shares on these
terms, afrerwhich the option of givingsucb Bonds inex
change for the fctockis to rest with the Reading Com
pany. With the Stockholders of the Minehill Company,
who do not agree to sell their Stock on the proposed
terms, the following arrangement will he made:
An amount equal to Fonr per Cent, semi-annually
on the Stock of such refusing Stockholders will be
paid over to the Managers of the Minehill Com
pany, who, after deducting from it such sum as may be
deemed necessary for paying the expenses of keeping up
the organization of the Company,.will distribute the re
ins inder a mong snch Stockholders as a Dividend on their
shares of Stock. ,
Concurrently with these arrangements, the present
agreement between tie MmehiiT Company and the
Schuylkill Navigation Company is to be cancelled.
The aKreement between the Reading Railroad Compa
ny and Schuylkill Navigation Company will ifcipalate
that the rate to be charged on the lateral roads for toll
and transportation, exceptwben it may be deemed ne
cessary to modify them for the purple of increasing the
development of the production of coal and tlie increase
of business, shall be sufficient to meet the sums to bn
paid tor them under the leases and agreements, and that
in case of any deficiency, such deficiency shall be met
and paid by the said two companies in the proportions of
the tonnage which they have respectively had from said
roads during the preceding year.
..The advantages of this arrangement to the holders of
the stock of the Minehill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad,
as -?f i vl U v e constituted by the merger and'eonsolidation,
Will be this; that they will hold the substantial guarantee
of both the Reading Company and the Navigation Compa
ny tor the payment of the annual interest on income as
a matter of real permanence, instead of the present
guarantee of the Schuylkill Navigation Company, which
‘'''ill cud m 1872, and 'ot the uncertain earnings of the
Minehill and Schuylkill Haven and Lehigh River Rail
roads after that date
_The only remaining feature of the agreement with the
Reading Company that it is important to notice is this,
that any holder of the present stock of the Schuylkill
Haven and Lehigh River Rallrosd Company, who may
desire it, has the privilege of selling his stock in the set
tlement and arrangement, on the following terms: If
his stock hasbeen paid up in full, SO per cent . namely,•
B*4o pir share, will be returned to him in cash, and for
the remaining 20 per cent, or $lO per share, he will re
ceive in the 6 per cent. Reading Bonds and
Schuylkill Navigatb n Boat and Car Loans, in the pro
portions named for settlement of full-paid stock. Hold
ers otstock, who have made partial payments, will
have the same privilege of making, by payments or re--
ceipts, their stock equal to $lO per share paid in, and re
ceive the same sum of s26!j per share in the loans above’
mentioned.
In conclusion,the Directors recommend a hearty con
currence m these arrangements on the part of the stock
holders as m their judgmeit they will. in th 9 best way,
the value and productiveness of all the properties
ot the several companies concurring therein, and at the
same time give to those engaged in the mining and sell
ing of coal the most complete and economical arrange
ments for reaching the great markets of the country by
the unrivalled facilities of the Schuylkill Navigation
Company and Reading Railroad Company.

/CASH ASSETS,
nine and one quarter
MITXIONS OF DOLLARS.
It is believed that the dividends for the past five years
($3.(.00,000) are larger in amount and proportion to pre
miums paid, than were ever declared, m the same space
of time by any other Life Company., They may be ap:
plied, at the option of the policy holder, either to the
purchase of additional insurance, payable with the poli
cy at maturity, or in redaction of premiums.
By there examples, it will be seen that in some case 3
the ANNUAL REDUCTION granted bvthe Company is
LARGER THAN THE ANNUAL PRRMIUM; iu other
words, that the policy would be entirely PAID UP for
the original amount, and the policy-holder, instead of
paying premium to the Company, would actually be in
RECEIPT OF AN ANNUITY (to be increased by subse
quent dividends) for the remainder of life.
