Exploiting the Short Line and the Rock Island Bond Plan
The St. Paul & Des Moines Short Line is absorbed by the Rock Island system and the St. Paul & Kansas City Short Line, formed to extend south to Allerton, will issue 10 000 bonds guaranteed by the Rock Island. Bonds sold at 93% on dollar promise 4.9 percent net, half in dollars and half in pounds. The plan foresees up to 30 million dollars total mortgage issues, with construction costs estimated likely around four million, provoking local speculation about use of funds and impact on Nevada traffic. A coal field in Marion county east of the line is expected to generate traffic once the extension reaches it.
