The total capitalization, stocks and
19,449 bonds was $1,376,678,000. Eliminat-
ing .duplications, the net capitaliza-
tion is less than $00,000 per mile.
In the thirty-seven years, from
1876 to 1913, the records show that
not less than 754 U.S. roads, with an
28,817,800 operated length of 145,176 miles, and
with $8,262,453,000 capital stock and
8,248,515 funded debt, passed into receivers'
10,000,000 hands. Among these were included
I such properties as the Northern Pact -
4,822,000 fit, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
that were subsequently reorganized
25,000,000 and placed upon a profitable basis.
2,180,000 Other important lines which have
500,000 gone into receivership in 1915 include
old established properties, such as the
8,340,000 Missouri Pacific System, with a
length operated of 9,670 miles. The
stock of the Missouri Pacific a few
years ago was selling above par, and
it is still considered to be a road with
considerable possibilities.
