Morgan and Co Refused to Finance Alaska Railroad Bid
John E. Ballaine of Seattle testified before the Senate Territories committee on Alaska railroad bills that J P Morgan and Co declined to back a narrow gauge line along the Alaska Northern route from Susitna valley to Tanana due to opposition by the Guggenheim brothers. He cited a telegram to a Taft cabinet member and said Perkins offered information from Morgan, but the Guggenheims refused consent. Delegate James Wickersham urged government construction of railroads for defense, proposing a $350000 bond issue to build 733 miles from southern ports to the interior.
