Court Orders Review Of 30 Avera Plan
The appellate division rules the Public Service Commission lacked power to approve the reorganization plan for the Third Avenue Railroad Company. The decision confines review to conformity with railroad reorganization law, considering actual debts and proper franchise, with bond and stock issues to be aligned to that statute. The committee led by James N. Wallace proposed securities including 4 percent bonds and various stock issues, but the plan was rejected and capitalization set for possible reassessment as noted.
