The "ParalIeI' Road Scheme.
from tbe bridgeport Standard.


In the construction of new roads we should
hope that the Legislature will SO restrict the
builders that the road shall be built honestly
and the fares be SO low as to pay only fair
interest on the actual cost of the road. The
practice now is to build railroads so as to
make the apparent cost twice as much as the
actual cost and then charge enough to pay
the bonds and have the stock free to the
spectators. They are built on speculation,
and they are frauds upon the public as they
are designed to make the public pay for
double their cost The elevated roads in
New York are fair samples of this iniquity.
Probably five million dollars would build
double track road from New Haven to New
York, and the fare at two cents mile or less
would pay good dividends upon the stock,
but if manipulated according to the present
mode of swelling the capital, the cost would
Re set down at from eight to ten million dol
lars and the fares be put high enough to pay
a dividend on the watered stock. The char
ter of the new road now before the Legisla-
ture is so drawn as to allow of Just that kind
of speculation, manipulation and dishonesty
to the public of which we have spoken, and
we most sincerely hope that it will not pass
unless the company is SO restricted that 1t
cannot lay feot of road without paying for
it in full with money received from the sale
of stock alone, absolutely prohibiting the
issuance of any bonds whatever for any pur-
pose. Then the public would only have to
pay fair price on the actual cost and no
extro sum for interest fictitious capital.
road built in that manner would have
every advantage over the watered stock roads
because it could charge lower rates and yet
pay its stockholders larger dividends than
the bogus capital roads and could thus draw
business to itself We hate frauds of all de.
scriptions, especially those upon the public at
large Honesty is the best policy and any
new railroad which discards the present
cheating practices of railroad construction,
and builds a road at its legitimate and actual
cost, will find that that policy pays the best.
