Austin, Aug 23.—When the
railroad commission approved a

newly organized International!
& Great Northern Railroad Co.
today the latter corporation
wiped the slate clean of past
indebtedness. The new issues
take the place of all previous
debts.
Authorized and approved by
the commission today are $20,-
000,000 first mortgage bonds
and $17,000,000 adjustment
mortgage bonds, all .30 years,
bearing 6 per cent interest.
A total valuation of $39,125.-
115 was given the I. & G. N. by
the commission, leaving $2,-
125.115 not taken up by the
bonds. This difference is ex-
pected to be used almost wholly
for the issuance of stock, none
of which was provided for in
today’s approval. It also means
that the new corporation can
not issue stock up to the $11,-
500.000 fixed by the amend-
ment to its charter filed last
week, but the amount will be!
considerably less than that
named in the charter.
With today’s issue the I- &
G. N. takes up the following:
