Cautions on Roads

Harvey c. Fruehauf, truck
trailer manufactures, agrees
that we need highways as
quickly as possible but he eau
tions against too much haste
lest they not becddequate when
completed.
I'VE should get started at
once but before actual work
begins, we should re-check
our specifications with mill
tary and vehicle engineers, as
well as road-building authOri-
ties" Fruehauf said,
"T he inter-regiOnal high
way system was conceived
prior 20 the war as n military
defense measure as well as "A
commercial asset. The plan
ners did good job in the
light of prewar ideas.
However, I'm the postwar
thinking, the specifications
for the proposed highways are
in many respects behind the
times from the standpoint OF
both military and commercial
transport development and
plans. There is still time to
stop and examine the pro-
posed specifications"

Bond Offering
Lag Expected

NEW YORK, Dec. 27-All signs
point to a greatly reduced volume
of bond financing by corporations,
after a period of unprecedented
activity for about Is months.
Only a handful of small issues
remain in registration for offer
ing before the end of 1945. More
over, il is likely the average cor
poration will be in less of a hurry
TO undertake bond refunding next
year.
Experts in the field of cor
porate finance point TO the ellmi-
nation as of Jan. !, 1916 of the
excess profits tax. Hitherto, this
has added To the advantages OF
replacing outstanding premium
bonds through sale of new issues.
Because of this, and the fact that
offering schedules no longer will
be cramped by war bond drives,
it is thought that companies with
refunding in mind will be more
inclined to await their audited
year-end figures before filing
plans with regulatory authorities
This means, in the opinion OF
some experts, that il may be late
February or March before a
sizable number Of new bond issues
are registered with the SEC and
|ICC.
Due primarily to the unprec.
edented rate at which utility and
railroad companies were refund
ing their higher-cost debt, the
amount of new corporate bonds
publicly Offered within the
past 1S months has excee c

Rails May Need
Rate Increase

WASHINGTON, Dec. u
Americas railroads will find IL
increasing difficult 10 operate
profitably under present rates, ].
j. Pelley, president Of the AS
sociation of American Railroads,
declared today in a review Of
l945 railroad activities.
Pelley explained that stability
in wartime rates. in the face of
rising wage and price levels, had
been made possible by heavier
loading, better utilization OF equip
ment and rising volume Of
traffic.
at will be increasingly dif-
ficult TO continue present rail-
road rates with the present
wage and price levels" he de-
clared. ut may, In fact, well
become impossible"
Net earnings of railroads in
1945 were less satisfactory than
in any of the three preceding
years, Pelley asserted.
Despite wage increases totaling
% per cent since 194l, and ma
terial and supplies price increases
averaging about "a per cent since
Pearl Harbor, Pelley said, general
freight rates are no higher than
those at the start of the war.
The average charge per passenger
mile has risen only 3 per cent.
