LESSEE, LONG ISLAND RAILROAD COMPANY.

(Date of charter, November 20, 1879.)

The Brooklyn and Montauk Railroad Company was incorporated by certificate, filed in the office of the Secretary of State, November 20, 1879. It is a reorganization of the South Side Railroad Company of Long Island, and the Southern Railroad Company. The road was sold under foreclosure of the sinking fund mortgage of the South Side Railroad Company, and of the general mortgage of the Southern Railroad Company, and was conveyed to this company, subject to $750,000 South Side first mortgage bonds on the main line, and to a $60,000 mortgage on the Rockaway branch, which last-mentioned mortgage has since been foreclosed, and the property covered by it conveyed to the company in exchange for stock reserved for the purpose.

This amount, $89,000 of stock, was issued during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1883, in consideration of the conveyance to this company of the Rockaway branch, which had been incumbered by a $60,000 mortgage at the time of the organization of this company. This mortgage was foreclosed, the property purchased by a person who subsequently conveyed it to this company freed from the claim of the mortgage. This issue was made in pursuance of the incorporation of the company and its plan for the issue of its stock.

The only statute affecting this company is chapter 78, Laws of 1881, authorizing the changing of the date of the annual meeting of the stockholders from first Tuesday to the first Wednesday of November, as the former day was frequently election day.

The road is leased to the Long Island Railroad Company, at a rental of 25 per cent of the net profits of the Long Island system. The lease runs for fifty years from October 1, 1879.
