Subways Reorganization Shifts Dividends and Stock Status
The reorganization swaps par for par to new non-cumulative preferred stock at six percent, wiping out old back dividends. The city of New York earns about 8.76 percent on its subway investment while a cumulative claim for 1910-1911 earnings must be paid. After preferred obligations, common stock prospects look slim for years though traffic growth could lift its equity gradually.
