F0RDTO MODIFY
RAILROAD PLAN
Interstate Commerce Com.
mission Report Shows
Change Will be Made.

Washington. March 11.-Henry
Ford. whose purchase and operation
of the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton
railroad has been followed with con-
siderable interest in the railroad
world. has decided to modify his orig
inal plan for its corporate reorgani-
zation, according to indications given
by interstate commerce commission
records.
After purchasing the railroad. the
automobile manufacturer organized a
new company called the Detroit and
Ironton, for which he secured inter-
state commerce commission permis-
sion to. issue 100000 in capital
stock and to build new line of rail-
road in Wayne county, Michigan,
supplementing the original system. In
addition, Mr.. Ford sought permission
to turn the entire properties of tho
Detroit, Toledo and Ironton over to
the new corporation under lease and
to have the company guarantee out
standing securities issued of the old
railroad.
Enter Objections.
Certain minority stockholders Of the
old company opposed to Mr.. Ford s
reorganization plans entered objec-
tions in the commissions investigation
Of the matter and the commission
recently issued an order stating that
''the applicant (Mr. Ford) requested
that these matters (the granting Of
the lease) be held in abeyance, and
accordingly no action has. been
taken"
The commission also noted that lit
does not appear that the applicant
desires to press the matter to con-
clusion at this time, and in order to
! close the record. applications will be
dismissed"
The action of the commission con-
sequently leaves the Ford railroad
properties exactly in the situation that
they were in when Mr.. Ford acquired
them and in case he desires to lease
the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton to the
Detroit and Ironton it will be neces-
sary for him to make new applt-
| cation

distribution of this amount had
