SEES UNION OF TWO LINES
Western Pacific Likely 20 Absorb
Denver and Rio Grande.

"My prediction is that the West

Gnnde will be- united ia the course 90
the coming years, Hn that wher the
return lo normal financial conditions
comes ia the country 10 vail iinl thi,s
two lines Ia the foreground of rail-
road development. Alvin ". Krech,
president of the Equitable Trust
companyof NewIorkand chairman of
the board of directors of the Weston
Pacific railroad, made this statement
last Friday at Salt Lake City. Kreeh
was in Salt Lake City last week and
this 10 attend the hearing before the
referee Of the interstate commerce
commission of the request of the
Western Pacific for adjusted rental
compensation from the railroad ad-
ministratiOn.
cit is my firm belief that the
Esch-C Cummings railroad bill will ac-
complish what IL sets out 10 do-that
is, establish the railroads of the coun-
try, the industry as whole, on a
sound basis that will go far towards
assuring them of financial support, -
says he. Railroads are at present
subject 10 the same stringency of the
money market as are the other in
dustnes. They will have difficulty
under existing conditions in securing
the funds which they can use for eX-
tensions, and they will be compelled
10 await a more normal time before
there will be any great influx of new
capital TO them.
"But | believe that the railroads
today offer greater opportunities for
capital TO be devoted to development
than at any other time in their his
tory The Denver and Rio Grande at
present stands much in need OF
money, But it has no credit. 1t looks
very much TO me as though the West
ern Pacific, which has good credit,
will be compelled in one way or an
other To lend money necessary for the
Denver and Rio Grande 20 adequately
serve It's territory"
