In respect of railway stocks and shares not quoted on the London or, provincial exchanges or issued since 1913, it is proposed that the axing of prices on analogous lines should bo referred to a committee. By a series that there was a chance of getting of calculations the conclusion is reached that the pre-war value of railway stocks and loans was £1,123,299,000-and that the State, under the proposals of the Bill, would have to provide, for the railway stockholders, on the depreciation basis of 30 per cent. and with the addition of fability in respect of various loans, a capital provision, for a total of £750,801,100 The promoters of the Bill adduce in support of their calculations the figures arrived at by Sir WILLIAM PLANDER, whose valuation amounted to £1,131,036,697 for a period of three years prior to December, 1913. To earn per cent, on a capital of £750,801,000 would require a net income of £47,303,466, which Haig's Ex-Soldiers' bund and The Lou- is said to be very nearly the net income of the companies in 1911, 1912, and 1913.
