War Department Opens Second Lot of Philippine Rail bids
The War Department opened the second lot of bids for Philippine railway concessions. Speyer & Co and a syndicate led by William Solomon & Co and Cornelius Vanderbilt bid on multiple lines across Luzon Panay Negros and Cebu with 4 percent guarantees for 30 years totaling about 10.6 million dollars. Willard R Green of a competing syndicate refused to bid, citing prohibitive bond and tax conditions that reduce bond value and raise cost. Officials expect days to tabulate bids and assess conformity, with likely rejection due to lack of competition.
