West End Street Railway seeks four and a half million capital increase

Petitions to the Massachusetts Railroad Commissioners request an increase of four million five hundred thousand dollars in capital stock for the West End Street Railway Company. The plan includes issuing ninety thousand shares of common stock at fifty dollars each and selling at least half by public auction to fund construction and the electrification of motive power, with hearings held and postponed into 1891. The board approves the increase within statutory limits and urges selling more than half at auction for public and stockholder benefit.
