Shaw seeks Iowa Path extension funds for rail project
Former Governor Shaw travels by fast train toward Des Moines to push a $420,000 purchase of the Atlantic Worth and South property and secure the May fourth extension. The Iowa and Atlantic syndicate has already advanced $3,100 for the extension while awaiting foreign capital. Backers hope to issue bonds for 5,000,000 to extend the mainline from Council Bluffs to Des Moines, facing opposition from powerful railroad interests. The stake centers on rival routes and the American bond market.
