 Col Stevenson has engineered a deal with the Consolidated road by which the war between the two companies is ended by mutual compromise. This compro- mise arrangement gives the Housaton- ic road the station and the Giles 6G Clan cey property northeast of it, the ConsoI- dated retaining its use of the station un- til it can build one of it's own, which the usually we'll informed Farmer inti- mates will be built up in the air, like the new Hartford station, just below Fair field avenue. It also suggests that the Housatonic will make the station it's ter minal, by building it's round and car houses on and about the Giles & Clan cey property. As to the tracks, the Con- solidated takes the eastern two next to the water front, giving the Housatonic the two next to the station and Water street. The Housatonic trains will then start from directly in front of the sta- tion, the second track east being re- moved so that Consolidated passengers will have but one track to cross and the Consolidated may cover over the four tracks now in front of the station. This arrangement does away with the Housa- tonic cross-over near the north end of the station and transfers it to near the elevator. It gives the Consolidated straight course for it's tracks from the station to South avenue and, in exchange for the slice that this takes out of the Housatonic yard, gives the Housatonic land on Water street on which it may build freight house, if it likes.
