Washington. Ian. 7.-As the first
step in government assistance Of rail-
road financing presidents of railroads
were requested bv Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Daniels today to
telegraph him Immediately the amount
of capital required for this year, also
for the first six months of the year.
This action was taken at the d.
rection OF Director General McAdoo.
Railroad presidents were asked to de-
tail the prescise purposes for which
funds will be needed to meet matur-
ing securities not already provided
for, to pay for Improvements, better
ments and construction work already
contracted for and partly finished.
Roads were requested also to show
what portion of Improvements al
ready started can be stopped now
without detriInent.
Another item sought by Commits
sioner Daniels is an approximate es-
| innate of capital necessary to pro-
vide for new construction work, i'm
provements and betterments, includ-
| ing additional terminals and new
! equipment. Presidents were asked to
| specify what part of their financial
requirements during this year are not
absolutely necessary for protection OF
property or maintenance of earnings
A definite statement also is sought
as to the character of securities that
each company had planned to issue
| Additional information may be
! sought by the interstate commerce
commission or the director general
later.
The railroad Administrations tinan-
/ cial plans have included the purchase
of a government fund of securities tc
be issued by railroads under govern
ment operation. This plan is only
tentative, however, and depends or
the action of Congress on the pend
ing railroad bill.
