PUBLIC PROJECT COST

BY the Associated Press.


Accumulation of planned municipal,
county and State public works construc-
ton which has been postponed during
the last four years, together with Fed
eral public works, would absorb easily
the $1,000, 100000 contemplated Federal
public works appropriation. in the opin-
ion of A. C. Tozzer, president of the
Associated General Contractors of
America.
Backing his statement with the in
complete but detailed compilation of
over 3,400 planned projects from all
parts of the country, which have been
submitted to the administration by the
National Committee for Trade Recovery,
Tozzer said the list constitutes more
than $4,000 100000 volume of sound
and necessary public works which can
and should be built in the immediate
future. This latter figure does not in
clude Federal projects, grade-crossing
eliminations and slum clearance.
Tozzer estimated that work could be
initiated on a majority Of them within
the next three to nine months.

TESTS IN RAILWAY
FINANCE PROVIDED
Carriers Must Meet Require.
ments Before Getting Gov
ernment Loans.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 2o.-Banking
houses associated with railway financ-
ing are burning midnight oil analydng
the possible effect of the administration S
proposed transportation bill on rail
stockholders and bondholders.
Attention is concentrated largely on
the section which dictates how financial
aid is to be meted out to needy carriers.
This states that the commission can
not approve loan unless it shall find
that the financial structure of the car
rier Is such that there is reasonable
prospect that such carrier can without
reorganization survive the existing eco
nomic depression and provide Tor its
capital needs thereafter"
Four Tests Provided.
What yardstick can measure a rail-
roads ability to weather the depression?
Seeking an answer to this question,
transportation quarters are interested in
data compiled by the Chicago, Mil
waukee, st. Paul & Pacific Railroad in
its recent application for loan. under
authority of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation act.
AS filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, this constitutes four tests
which have been applied to the 43 rail-
roads that had gross revenues OF $12,-
100000 or more in 1882.
The first yardstick computes the per-
centage of last years gross required to
pay all fixed interest charges. The sec
ond shows the dollars of fixed interest
bearing debt per 100 traffic units OF
1881, which means ton miles plus pas
senger miles multiplied by three. The
third outlines the per cent OF value
computed by the commission and
brought down to December 81, 193l-re-
quired to pay all fixed charges, and the
fourth test is the percentage OF the
1882 gross left for maintenance after
deducting all other expenses.
The Norfolk & Western ranks first
in all of these tests, the exhibit shows.
In applying only the first test-consid-
cred one of the most vital by banking
experts-second place is taken by the
Long Island, third by the Santa Fe,
fourth by the Chesapeake & Ohio and
fifth by the Burlington.
Other Roads.
The next Is roads. listed according
to rank, are: Chicago Great Western,
Union Pacific, Alton, Pennsylvania,
Missouri -Kansas-Texas, Louisville &
Nashville, Jersey Central, Boston 81
Maine, Pere Marquette, Reading. New
York Central, Lehigh Valley, Milwau-
kee, Lackawanna and Atlantic Coast
Line The Delaware & Hudson stands
No. %, the illinois Central "a, the Erie
27, New Haven %, Southern Pacific 80,
Baltimore & Ohio 35 and Missouri Pa
cif1c 38.
Among the first 20 roads, the per-
centage of 1882 gross required to pay
all fixed interest charges ranged from
6.8 per cent for the Norfolk & Western
to 1871 per cent for the Atlantic Coast
Line. The Minneapolis, st. Paul &
S. S. Marie, No. 43 on the list, required
34.8 per cent. of its gross for fixed
charges.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The advance
