The financial condition of the holding company is not good.

In fact its weakness is such that there is apparently no probability of its refinancing its holding company issue, and it appear; capital amount to about $8,000, which with other anticipated deductions, would reduce the actual purchase price to approximately $100,000. The physical properties of the Company were appraised by Ford, Bacon and Davis in 1927, or thereabouts, which appraisal figures, with additions to date and less accrued depreciation, show a sound vai'ie of not including working capital, so that a bond issue of $115,000 is substantially less than such a sound value. The firm of E. H. Rollins Son, Inc.

has offered to jjurchase the em tire proposed bond issue at an interest rate of SV per with provisions for retirement of the issue over a 30-year period. The annual statement of the Tunkhannock Water Company for the year ending Mlay 31, 1939, showed a gross revenue of $14,287.

Under the provisions of the above Act, the "Authority" would be formed by vote of the Borough Council, and its Board of Supervisors would be appointed by the Borough Council, with the Borough incurring no financial liability, either direct or indirect. The revenue bonds of the "Authority" would be secured only by the revenut derived from the operations of the waterworks, and these bonds would not be in any way an indebtedness of the Borough nor would they appeai on its financial statements. Furthermore, any preliminary expenses, which the Borough might incur in forming such would be repaid out of the funds of the "Authority."

Mrs. Stark is a graduate of Taylor High School and Scranton-Lacka-wanna Business College. She is office at Forkston was discontinued. All mail for parties will be held at Mehoopany until each family puts up a regulation Government mail box. Much dissatisfaction is felt in that section in regard to the change.

Rev. James Lawson, Scout Master, interest charges would be reduced, which might well be used to give a rate reduction of 10 per cent, or more to all domestic customers. Under the terms of the Muncipal Authority Act, when bonds have been retired, the property reverts to the Borough, which would then own it free and clear of liabilities, and could operate it in such a way as the Borough deemed advisable. Any surplus revenue, above expenses, would then go into the general fund of the Borough. Federal and State taxes, which are responsible for the holding company's failure to operate at substantial profit, would be exempted under municipal ownership.

Thus it appears that an unusually advantageous opportunity is provided to Tunkhannock Borough to ultimately own its own water properties, without financial liability of any sort, and with substantial immediate advantage to the people. The council took no action upon the proposal, but will make a thorough study and will probably hold public hearings to learn the public sentiment toward the proposition. Butler.
