Wabash Railroad Bonds Question No 383
The Wabash Railway defaulted interest on first and refunding bonds about two years ago and filed for bankruptcy in December 1911. A reorganization plan contemplates a $20 per share assessment to stockholders for new stock, plus exchange of 4 per cent bonds for new 5 per cent income bonds that must be paid first. Interest on the new bonds may begin soon after plan approval, though full 5 per cent may not be paid immediately.
