EMONS TRANSPORTATION GROUP, INC.
(CUSIP No. 291575108)
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to common stock, $.01
par value per share (the "Common Stock") of Emons Transportation Group, Inc.
(the "Issuer"). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is
96 South George Street, York, Pennsylvania 17401.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
(a) - (f)
This statement is being filed jointly on behalf of the
following three reporting persons (each, a "Reporting Person" and, collectively,
the "Reporting Persons"):
(I) This statement is being filed on behalf of Long Meadow
Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"). The
Partnership's principal business is to make and hold investments. The business
address for the Partnership is c/o Long Meadow Investors, LLC, 1177 High Ridge
Road, Stamford, Connecticut, 06905. The general partner of the Partnership is
Long Meadow Investors, LLC, which is described more fully in (II), below.
(II) This statement also is being filed on behalf of Long Meadow
Investors, LLC ("LMI"), a Delaware limited liability company. LMI's principal
business is to act as general partner to the Partnership. The business address
for LMI is 1177 High Ridge Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06905.
(III) This statement also is being filed on behalf of Jonathan W.
Old, III. Mr. Old's present principal occupation is as a member of LMI. Mr. Old
is a United States citizen whose business address is c/o LMI, 1177 High Ridge
Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06905.
No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors). Further, no Reporting Person has been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a
result of which any Reporting Person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or
final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or maintaining
activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation
with respect to such laws.
The Partnership is making this filing because it has acquired
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for which it has voting and investment
power.
Each of LMI and Mr. Old is making this filing because, due to
the relationship between each of them and the Partnership, as described above,
each could be deemed to have beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Act of the shares of Common Stock held by the Partnership. Each of LMI
and Mr. Old disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by
other persons.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
The Partnership acquired 7,000 shares of Common Stock in open
market transactions on December 13, 1996 and February 6, 1997 for a total
purchase price of $24,800. On September 22, 1997 the Partnership acquired
292,270 shares of Common Stock in a privately negotiated transaction with the
owner of those shares for a total purchase price of $876,810. The $901,610 used
to purchase the 299,270 shares of Common Stock came from the working capital of
the Partnership.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
The Partnership holds its shares of Common Stock to which this
statement on Schedule 13D relates for purposes of investment. At present, the
Partnership has no plans to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or to
transfer shares of Common Stock. Except as disclosed in this Item 4, the
Partnership has no current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in
any of the events described in Items (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item
4 of Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(I) The Partnership beneficially holds an aggregate of 299,270
shares of Common Stock, which constitutes 5.1% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Page 6 of 7 Pages
(II) For purposes of Rule 13(d) under the Act, because LMI is the
general partner of the Partnership and because it could be deemed to share
voting and dispositive power with the Partnership over the shares of Common
Stock held by the Partnership, LMI may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
the shares of Common Stock held by the Partnership. Therefore, LMI may be deemed
to be the aggregate beneficial owner of 299,270 shares of Common Stock, which
constitutes 5.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. LMI disclaims
beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by other persons.
(III) Jonathan W. Old, III is the managing member of LMI. Because
Mr. Old is the managing member of the general partner of the Partnership,
and because he could be deemed to share with LMI voting and dispositive power
over the shares of Common Stock held by the Partnership, for purposes of
Rule 13(d) under the Act, Mr. Old may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
the shares of Common Stock held by the Partnership. Therefore, Mr. Old may be
deemed to be the aggregate beneficial owner of 299,270 shares of Common Stock,
which constitutes 5.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Mr. Old
disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by other
persons.
(c) As reflected in Item 3, above, on September 22, 1997,
the Partnership acquired 292,270 shares of Common Stock for $3.00 per share in a
privately negotiated transaction with the owner of those shares. Except as
discussed in this Item 5(c), no other transactions in shares of Common Stock
were effected in the past 60 days by any of the Reporting Persons.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Not applicable.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
