Tben the raiiroed, awns it outright and not un- til then does it own any part thereof, The knowledge t7utt the bondholders have this power has made the instances where it became necessary to use it very Sew indeed, The reasons are almost obvious. The equipment of a railroad is essee. tial to its operation. Halls and terruln- als are merely the ;thou aa it were. the equipment constitutes the supply of tools. If, therefore, the reoeiver were deprived of the etinhunent it would he utterly lin. Possible to satisfy the road's creditors, as the road couldn't be operated. The result' of this boas been that in" ' the States (there has so far been no orea. -ion in Canada to adjudicate on this matter) the courts, both State and 3'ed- eral. have ruled that the necessary equip - =cut of a bankrupt railroad most he preserved. They have moreover "placed the ebarges for prineipal and inter- est of equipment obligations," writes Mr, Henry. of the' Guaranty Trod. Co. of New York "upon an equality with. charges for wages, :materials. and other operating expenses and in priority to 'in- terest of even first mortgage bonds." As a result, equipment bonds: hnve made a remarkable record during times or stress in, railroad eircles, Between the Rears 1888 and 1905 took piano the prin- .cipal railroad troubles z•+ the States. A cheep' search has been made of all re- organizations during that period end it Was discovered that "sixteen different railroads, aggregating nearly one hun- dred thousau'tl miles, and located in wide- ly different parts, of the country had out- standing utstanding epuipinent bonds at the time of default.
