Railroad Valuation and Rates (Classic Reprint)
Author: Mark Wymond
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781330515457
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Excerpt from Railroad Valuation and Rates This book is intended primarily as a treatise on the Principles of Rates and their relation to Valuation and Rate Regulation. In view of this fact, the reader is entitled to an explanation of why the first four chapters are devoted to what at first sight seem unrelated subjects. No discussion in regard to the proper basis for rate-making can last very long without reference to Capitalization and Valuation. The discussion on capitalization finally turns on the abuses practiced in the construction and promotion of railroads. Promotion and construction are most intimately connected with capitalization - in fact, very much more so than capitalization is with rate-making. There is seemingly some confusion on the part of some authors and publicists in regard to the facts concerning and the conditions surrounding the promotion and construction of our railroads and the relation which such facts and conditions have to capitalization. Many of us have come to accept these widely published interpretation of facts for the facts themselves, generally because we do not take the time to make the investigation necessary to determine their accuracy.
