Santa Fe Railway Seeks Larger Valuation
Interstate Commerce arguments over the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe Railway valuation to set rate levels continue as the railroad seeks a value near 750 million dollars. Vice President E T Bledsoe and President W B Storey contest the commission's depreciation figures and the inclusion of noncarrier assets as part of the rate base. The dispute centers on how to value the road’s cost, going concern value, and field operations from 11 000 miles of track to dining facilities west of Kansas City.
