Delaware & Hudson seeks consent for bond issue of 50 million
Albany Aug 6 Delaware and Hudson representatives urged the Public Service Commission to allow a further 50 million bond issue under its first and refunding mortgage. The panel previously approved 19.807 million but denied funds for United Traction and Troy & New England purchases and Hudson Coal Company advances. The company argued the lines connect with New Haven at the state line and that the United Traction item finances Hudson Valley Railway acquisition to ease local traffic. The commission reserved decision as counsel and officers testified and attended.
