Bankers' Plan for Railroad Financing Blocked by Commission
In Washington the Interstate Commerce Commission refused Chicago, Burlington & Quincy’s plan to issue 80 million dollars in bonds to be shared with Northern Pacific and Great Northern. The decision triggered heavy selling in the financial district and unsettled railroad equipment stocks. Wall Street suspected the delay will affect working capital needs and dividend plans for rail lenders, with full effects felt across Liberty bonds and other securities.

Bond Dividend Denied for CB & Q by Interstate Board
The Interstate Commerce Commission refused to permit Chicago Burlington and Quincy to issue an 80 million bond dividend to retire part of 17.5 million bonds issued to finance 07 percent of the road's stock by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific interests. It said the bond issue would raise interest costs unnecessarily and that a bond dividend is unnecessary since mortgage alternatives can be provided from surplus earnings.
