RUMORS OF CONSOLIDATION.
PROSPECT OF THE UNION OF THE VARIOUS
TRANSIT SYSTEMS IN BROOKLYN
TILE INTERESTS INVOLVED

The consolidation OF Brooklyn with NewYork
and the taking in Of contiguous territory In
Queens County. together with the natural trend
Of events. have greatly stimulated the impress
sion which has long prevailed in the minds Of
many people In Brooklyn that It will be COM
paratively short time before the various rail-
road systems In Brooklyn Will be brought under
one management, and then consolidated with
the New-Y York railroads under one colossal sys-
tenn There is no Disgusting the fact that there
are many difficulties which Will be encountered
In the contamination OF such project. But the
rapid.ty with which consolidation along various
lines has taken place already In Brooklyn sug-
gests the belief among the most farsehted
hnancers that in the course Of few years all
the Brooklyn roads at least will be under one
management. Perhaps one OF the principal oh
stacies In the way Of speedy consolidation Is
the fact that in the growth OF the Brooklyn sur
face roads. piece BY piece. securities Of a great
variety have been Issued. and these are held by
q greatly diversified set Of owners For IN
stance. there are several hundred thousand Of
Atlantic-ave. per cent bonds outstanding
which will not mature until 1911. and there Is
Z larger number Of Brooklyn CITY 5s outstanding
which have nearly fifty years 10 run before
there Is any option them. These bonds
would not be surrendered for per cents and II
would require a considerable bonus to get them
cut Of the way. There is large number
Of financial obstacles OF this nature and the
consideration OF them. one by one. Is sufficient
20 give any one a headache
On the other hand however. there is little
doubt that the manifest advantages 10 be OBJ
tained In the ultimate consolidation OF all the
railways in the greater city would prompt
the payment of generous bonus 10 holders OF
per cent bonds. which have long time 10
run. and the substitution for them OF bonds Of a
