<div dir="ltr">According to "Transit In The Triangle" the investors did receive their money even though most of the people receiving that money were distant relatives of the original owners/investors. This really did bankrupt PRCo. We would have probably seen more new PCCs purchased and more fixed plant improvements in the early 1950s had the contingency fund not been wiped out by a bunch of money-mongers who I would have told to "step off" long before they even made a claim to any money. That is what the bankruptcy process is all about. I am at a loss as to why these people were awarded anything.<br>

But those folks also had the right to see their investment wiped out in a<br>
reorganization...that's why debtors love the bankruptcy process.<br>

When it's not your money, it's easy to say anything!<br>

Subject: [PRCo] "This Streetcar Mess" Pittsburgh Press Editorial - December<br>
1948<br>
<br>
I put the whole editorial into one jpeg, so you'll probably need to use the<br>
+ key in your viewer, or enlarger in whatever photo program you open the<br>
file with. Paint works pretty well.<br>
