War Dept Opens Second Lot for Philippine Railways
The War Department opened bids for the Philippine railways. Speyer & Co bid 200 miles Luzon and a Manila to Laoag line with 4 percent government guarantees. A syndicate bid on three lines totaling 295 miles with 4 percent guarantees failed to meet specs. Willard R Green refused to bid citing prohibitive bond constraints and inconsistent terms. Officials expect bids to be tabulated in days and possibly rejected for lack of competition.
