Trustees seek extension to sell Boston & Maine stock
James L. Doherty and other trustees in the Sherman anti trust suit against New York, New Haven & Hartford petitioned the U S District Court to extend to July 1, 1921 the authority to sell Boston & Maine railroad stock and related securities. They cite prolonged depressed market values due to wartime finance and possible federal control, noting a receiver has held the B and M since 1916 and that reorganization aid may lift values.
