Willard Warns of Future Concerns for Rail Roads
Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, cautions that 1917 may bring limited earnings growth due to higher costs, taxes, and regulatory compliance. He notes record 1916 earnings but rising expenses, tighter car supply, and bottlenecks at terminals. He expects some improvement if capacity expands, urging cooperation among railroads, authorities, and the public. He also cites public attitude improvements and the Newlands committee as potential benefits. A separate note from Stockholm reports Bank of Sweden boosting capital by 10,500,000 crowns for postwar business growth.
