Tracks Wanted More.
All the commission members said
that the profit agreement was not
easily reached.
"Pimhco and Bowie. and In fact
all the tracks. wanted a larger al

wanted 25 per cent, 20 per cent. or
15 per cent. but we cut 1t down to
10 per cent. We figured that this is
a fair return. Eight per cent. Is
the prevailing return for corpora
tions like the United Railways and
the Gas Company. which are regu-
lated by the Public Service Commits

allowed 10 per cent.

permit the Chicago, Burlington and

firing part Of $175, 100000 of bonds is
sued to finance the purchase of 81 per

company permission to issLe a stock divi-
dend of $50 900 900 to capitalize part Of
it's property paid for out Of surplus earn
ings.
In denying the application for authori-
ty to issue the bonds, the commission said
the issue would materially increase the
company's interest burden without APP
parent necessity and that "the more
adaptable form Of mortgage which the
applicant desires can be provided without
the issuance Of bond dividend"
