Hill's Road Upheld by Court Over Railroad Capitalization
Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously holds that only the legislature may regulate railroad capitalization and that a state rail commission cannot be delegated such discretionary approval. The ruling reverses lower court injunctions on the $80 million stock issue by the Iva Northern Railroad Co. Attorney General Young decries the decision as limiting state supervision. The Great Northern stock issuance and installment plan discussed, with extensions possible for some stockholders, and proceeds earmarked for terminal improvements, extensions, equipment, and faster movement of traffic.
