LITTLE MIAMI AND COLUMBUS AND XENIA RR.

Leased in perpetuity from December 1, 1869, to the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad Company, the lease being guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the rental to be $480,000 per annum, to be paid quarterly, free of tax and assessments. The rental is equivalent to 8 per cent. on $6,000,000, and to that amount the stock of the Little Miami RR. will be increased, including the stock of the Columbus and Xenia RR.

The Little Miami Company was chartered March 11, 1853, and entered into a contract or partnership with the Columbus and Xenia Company November 30, 1853. The two Companies under this union leased the Dayton and Western Railroad in January, 1865, and purchased the Dayton, Xenia and Belpré Railroads, under judicial proceedings, February 4, 1865. Their union continued until November 30, 1868, when it was dissolved by mutual agreement, and a contract of lease entered into by which the Little Miami Company leased for 99 years, from December 1, 1868, the Columbus and Xenia Railroad and the rights and interests of the Columbus and Xenia Company in the Dayton and Western, the Dayton, Xenia and Belpré and the Richmond and Miami Railroads, agreeing to pay all partnership and other debts of each of the Companies except the principal of the 1st mortgage debt of the Columbus and Xenia Company, and to pay to the latter Company in quarterly installments as rental free from all liabilities, taxes, etc., a sum sufficient to yield a dividend of 7 per cent. per annum upon $1,786,200, the stock of the Columbus and Xenia Company, and a contingent amount in addition not exceeding one per cent. per annum, which was availed of on the leasing of the Little Miami Railroad to the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Company in December last, and hence the Columbus and Xenia Company is now entitled to the additional percentage.
