Senate Debates Boston & Albany Bill Over Capital Stock
In the General Court the Boston & Albany railroad bill to increase stock faced sharp Senate scrutiny led by Senator Hathorne who charged stock watering and questioned past gains to stockholders. The plan to issue $10,000,000 in stock vs bonds was debated. Pilsbury defended the road’s assets and service. The Senate adjourned without a vote as hearings and public interest centered on capitalization and public impact.
