Elevated Company faces large capital needs and tight earnings
The witness testified that expenditures for equipment, extensions, and additions total 6.2975 million dollars plus 1.595 million for Dorchester and Boylston street subways and East Boston tunnel. Funds on hand amount to 1.6497 million. The law allows 3.2868 million in new bonds and future stock issuance to cover costs, but if dividends fall short, raising capital will be hard. Auditor Neal noted 14 year investment growth of 267.35 percent but income up only 83.29 percent, signaling overexpansion beyond rider payments.
