SECURITIES AND REPORTS. This is one of our four Supplements. In using the series it is to be remembered that they are inter-dependent publications, complete only as a whole. If utilized together, and with the fresh items of news the Chroniclb contains from week to week, the investor will have all the information he needs in seeking a safe and remunerative lodgment for his money. Street Railways forcibly illustrate this inter-dependence. Such roads obviously rely for their income, and therefore in great part for the value of their securities, upon the population and activity of the country they serve. Hence constant reference to our State and City Supplement will be found necessary by those wishing to purchase the stocks and bonds of street roads. Population, assessed valuation, tax rate, total debts of the counties, cities and minor municipalities are given at length in that publication, every one of which items is an essential fact contributing more or less to any correct estimate of the amount of suburban travel a given road commands. The Abbreviations used in our Street Railway statements will be found explained in a table immediately following the last statement in this Supplement.

The terms and abbreviations employed in this Supplement are explained in the following : " STOCK & BONDS" —Under these words are shown— STOCK"—The amount of stock authorized immediately follows the word " stock", and against this is the par value of single shares, viz.: " Stock, $200,000—$100", means stock, total issue authorized by charter or by act of legislature, $200,000, divided into shares of $100 each " t. p." following the amount given as outstanding means " full paid." " Pref." means " preferred stock." " Pref. 6 p. c. cum." means preferred stock entitled to dividends of 6 per cent per annum, such dividends If not paid accumulating, all dividends due and unpaid to be paid in full for each and every year before the common stock receives anything. " Pref. 6 p. c. noji-cum." means simply that the stock is entitled to 6 per cent per annum if enrned, but that if unearned in any year the dividend for that year will not be paid subsequently. " BONDS"—"Mort." or "M." means mortgage. " Consol." or " con. M." means consolidated mortgage. "Gen. M." means general mort gage. The amount next following is the total authorized amount that can be issued under the mortgage. The word " gold" is usually spelled out, but in some instances is contracted to " g," while " cur." means currency. "Conv." means convertible " into stock. S. f." means sinking fund. " c." means coupon ; "0.*" means coupon but may be registered as to principal; and "c.*&r." means that registered certificates without coupons as well as coupon bonds are outstanding. The letters "p. m." mean per mile, so $15,000 p. m. means that the issue of bonds is restricted to $15,000 for each mile of track. " Guar." means guaranteed, and "guar. p. A 1. (end.) " means guaranteed as to principal and interest, the guaranty being endorsed on each bond. " DATE"—The date of issue on the face of the bonds is indicated under the word " date." " INTEREST"—Under this heading is given the rate per cent yearly of the interest payable on the bonds or (if guaranteed) of the dividend payable on the stock; also the months when the interest or dividend is payable, thus, " 6 J - J " means 6 per cent per annum payable January •ndJuly; correspondingly, "F-A" is used to mean February and August; "M-S"means March and September, and so on, while "Q- J' means quarterly beginning in January and "Q-F" quarterly beginning in February. [The day when the interest payment is due can generally be determined by noticing when the loans mature, the day of the month there given being In most cases the same as for one of the Interest dates. ] ROAD"—The word "track" means in Street Railway parlance all track, whether main line, stding, switch or second track. "Ralls are 80-lb. girder" means that each rail weighs 80 pounds to the yard. Index to Railways. Page.
