Lost OF Improving E1dHFoaus
To duplicate the track of a large |
American road would involve an ex-
penditure whose resulting yearly
charges would be very far from being
met by the added revenue for long
time to come AS matter of fact,
most of the railroads are, therefore,
duplicating their tracks slowly, says
Wolcott Drew in Moody's Magazine.
1t is, however, not a question whether
enough is spent each year to keep
road, already in good condition, up to
the previous normal standard. but
whether enough additional has been
expended to keep the road in the up
to-date state demanded by the contin
ually higher standard of living and ex.
penditure in the whole country. A
striking example is seen in the South
ern Pacific. In 1902 large broker
age house, interested in this stock
estimated with an expenditure of $40,
100000 this road would be in a first
class physical condition and enabled
easily to pay dividends. A forty-mil
lion-dollar issue of preferred STOCK
was actually made. But it has beer
found necessary in the last four years
in addition to this sum, to expent
nearly $9O,OOO,OOO before the road hal
been brought up to a first-class con
dition. 1t has now the rather larg
bond capitalization of $4,000 pc
mile.
