Delaware & Hudson bonds blocked for United Traction deal
Albany dispatch reports the New York upstate Public Service Commission denied the Delaware & Hudson request to issue bonds to finance the United Traction Company stock purchase and coal lands, ruling the rail line financing could not be secured solely by railroad mortgage bonds. The decision leaves open a path to fund via other means while approving a $230,000 bond issue for the Troy & New England Railway purchase.
