Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baltimore and Ohio Magazine, Vol. 8: May, 1920 During Mr. Cowen's administra tion Mr. Shriver had much to do with the financial reorganization of the Company and since then has taken a large part in the financial arrange ments which have rendered possible the great enlargement of the property and the extension and improvement of its facilities. During the period of Federal con trol, great responsibility rested upon Mr. Shriver, particularly with re spect to the Company's claims for compensation under the Act of Con gress which turned the Railroad properties over to the Government. Here he did extraordinary work in the preparation and presentation of the Baltimore and Ohio's requirements, and their successful conclusion must have been to him a most gratifying reward.
