Railroad leader urges bond law change in Texas
Mr. Robert Lovett, Harriman chief, tells the Texas Welfare Commission that railroads should issue bonds for improvements without regard to prior issues and may refund securities. He notes uneven taxation and recalls his Texas roots. Frank Trumbull of Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway argues for securities equal to property value, aiming to spur Texas railroad construction. The state values rail property at $210 million while taxpayers assess $410 million and railroads value it at $550 million.
