Attorney General Answers on Boston and Albany Lease Terms
Boston March 16 Attorney General Knowlton sent to the General Court his answers on the B and A lease. He says the Commonwealth may reduce rates if dividends fall below eight percent and that ratification would not affect this right. Two purchase routes exist: eminent domain or statutory purchase. The price cannot be stated definitively. Ratification preserves the right to buy. Bonds become property of the road if leased, with interest distributable to stockholders. The Hudson River line would need State consent to lease the B and A. If approved, NY Central and B and A could cancel but not amend the lease. Annual returns would still be required to railroad commissioners.
