Extension Is Granted
To Boston & Maine
On R. F. CLoans
Two Additional Years
Allowed in Ruling
From |. G. c.
BY the Associated Press.

oy tuS aseoSidleu fIcSS.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission granted the Boston & Maine
Railroad two-year extension today
on paying Reconstruction Finance
Corp. loans aggregating $10,071, 1884.
In extending the loans, the COM
mission found the Boston & Maine
not to be in need of financial re-
organization at this time.
Chairman Marion M. Caskie and
Commissioners Charles D. Mahffie
and Clyde B. Aitchison dissented.
"A prudent creditor considering
his own position as a creditor,
would, think, grant the extension
as a matter of sound business judg-
ment," Mahaff1e wrote. The cred
itor here, however is the Recon-
structlon Finance Corp. We, under
the act, have a different function.
In order to approve the extension,
we must certify that the applicant
is not in need Of financial reorgani-
zation in the public interest Con-
slderlng the earnings history, fnan-
clal structure and prospects of the
dppHcanl, L am unable to join in
that certificate"
The s1007l 1874 debt fell due Feb
ruary l: the extension is to Febru-
ary /, 1941.
The Boston & Maine has forecast
net income of s939O72 for the cur
rent year. Its earnings have been
sufflclent to pay its fixed charges in
every recent year except 1896 and
1888, when respective deficits were
1854 1873 and S5,153,278.
Maturities of the line in 1899.
after extension of the R. F. c. loans.
amount to S2,4l9.O0O, of which
S52O,90o has already been paid.
For the first two months of 1899
1t had net railway operating income
OF S785, ,432, compared with a deficit
OF sl55,436 for the same period last
year.
