The Railroad Manipulations and a Public Policy Gap
John T Flynn argues for a clear railway policy as the government disperses funds to railroads. He cites the Delaware Lakawanna and Hudson line and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation loans to relieve tax, rent, and bond costs, criticizing policymakers and banks for delaying real reform. He recalls 1932 lending motives and warns that funds reach bankers rather than public health. In Ohio, a note on vast drainage ditching highlights local fiscal concerns and travel within a vast system.
