No Dividend Declared by Atchison Topeka Santa Fe
New York July 27 Up-Rightors of the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe railroad took no action on the preferred dividend citing long continued inadequacy in railroad revenues and the need to retain a sound financial position. For the year ended June 30 1938 net operating income was 1 408 814 other income 4 035 831 total 14 400 145 enough to pay interest 13 115 463 leaving 1 284 682 for preferred dividends, but six months of 1938 failed to earn interest. Maintenance was reduced and floods and rains raised costs, with financing largely through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The board therefore did not act on the preferred dividend.
