Hines seeks 750 million fund to finance roads
Washington January 24 1919 Director General of Railroads Walker D Hines submitted to Treasury Secretary Carter Glass a supplementary estimate of 750 million dollars to be immediately available to finance Federal railroad operations through 1919. The proposal adds to the existing revolving fund and aims to cover 1918 settlements and anticipated deficits amid wage increases and potential rate changes. The move follows prior reports of a looming 250 million dollar rail deficit and outlines use of the new funds to cover remaining shortfalls after applying the 500 million revolving fund.
