a result Of several meetings between the Metro
politan and the Third Avenue companies. an
agreement has been reached whereby the two

The lines OF the Metropolitan and the Third
Avenue cross in many places, and the change
in motive power now being introduced brings In
q serious question Unless the two companies
work in harmony, the arrangement Of conduits
at intersecting points will be almost impossible
There will be no change In operating arrange

the other The new arrangement Is in no sense
a consolidation Of the two roads. Each will con-
tinue 10 operate It's lines independent Of the

William c. Whitney had conference with

about buying out the other or any part Of the

there will be anlicable agreement as TO all
misunderstanding"
