Fearful Bid for Georgia Rail Control Sparks Bondholder Alarm

Perry and Oakleigh Thorne could give the Rock Island system dominance in Georgia property. They seek a bill allowing income bond holders to vote on management to protect $3,000,000 in Georgia capital, argue past Rock Island moves harmed investors, and urge swift legislative action to prevent further depreciation of income bonds.
