RAILWAYS WILL SELL BONDS TO BUY EQUIPMENT $400,000,000 Worth to Be Dis posed of in Next Three or Four Months. MAY PAY HIGH RATES WASHINGTON. Aug. s.—Bailroads will offer approximately $400,000,000 worth of securities to the public in the next three or four months, it was learned here today at the bureau of railroad eco nomics, unless present prices are upset. Interest rates will be at least 7 per cent. Quick sales of the securities will re sult in more being put on the market, it w&i said. The proceeds will be applied on pur chase of new equipment of which more than $610,000,000 worth will be needed In jhe next twelve months, according to present, plans. Part of the money for equipment will come from the revolving fund admin istered by the interstate commerce com mission under the transportation act. Railroad officials now are conferring with investment brokers to arrange for sale of the securities. Conferences were held several days ago in anticipation of the rate increases al lowed railroads -by the interstate com merce commission. MAY PAY MORE THAN 7 PER CENT. A hitch developed, however, which hag not yet been overcome. The investment bankers made clear to the railroad officials the securities might "have to pay more than 7 per cent If their proposal was to be assured. The interstate commerce commission officials, however, let the rail officials know the government would view the 7 per cent dividends with displeasure since the government Is to get but 6 per cent on Its revolving fund advances. This conflict now is being worked out between the commission and rail offi cials. Reports that the rail-roads would spend before Jan. 1. sums ranging from $6,000,- 000 to $7,000,000 for new equipment, were scouted here by rail officials. “So much equipment could not be de livered in such a short time,” said Di rector Parmaiee of the bureau of rail road economics, “There would be no point in placing orders for such a huge amount of equip ment far in advance of actual delivery. "Most plants for the manufacture ot equipment now have enough orders to keep them busy for the remainder of 1929. „ “Repair of equipment will be the big item of expenditure for the remainder of the year. “This is the quickest way to decrease the car shortage.” THRASHER LOSES ARM.
