Baltimore & Ohio Board Declares Semiannual Dividend Increase
Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad announce a 3 percent common stock dividend for this period, up from 1 percent, to be paid September 1. The rise follows a prior increase from 4 to 5 percent in 1905 and is linked to Wall Street interest and a French syndicate condition tied to the Pennsylvania bond issue. The year’s earnings show gross of 77,219,942 and net of 27,601,026, with surplus for dividends rising to 16,001,075 and common dividends set at 6,875,000 earlier, leaving substantial funds for future improvements.
