State Street Topics on Elevated Line Finance and Dividends
The nine in eleven hour bill passed despite the Governor's veto, causing a 41 point drop in Boston Elevated stock to around 84 1 2. Estimated extra expenses from the law total $600,000 to $800,000, potentially cutting dividends, with little room for net earnings gains. Readjustments in income and spending may be needed for continued 6 percent dividends, as transfers and tunneling expansions face public objection. Stock prices and prior investments show large losses, and the outcome will attract unusual scrutiny.
