The y attic of Consolidation Has Been
Under Consideration.

Under Consideration.
After an extended absence from Rich
mond. most OF the time being spent in
New York city, Captain Andrew Pizzini
has returned. To reporter yesterday
he said.
Il see that the papers have been busy
consolidating the lines Of the Richmond
Railway and Electric and Richmond
Traction Companies during my absence.
| wish they had gotten through with it
before my return
what are the chances for consol!da-
tion2" I asked.
There is no prospect OF II at all, so
far as l know" replied Captain Pizzini.
There is no doubt however. that the
project has been considered and talked
about. but you can put Il down as sure
that there viii never be any consolida-
ton while the two companies are under
their present management
How about the system Of transfers
between the two lines?" 1 asked.
"The expert VINO has been making up
n report" he replied has finished his
task. and I had expected 20 have Il In
hand by last SATURDAY,. l have Just
written 10 him. and will get Il in few
DAYS at most. The report Is an elaborate
one. We are willing 10 stand by II. ana
n the other people accept its provisions
a system Of transfers can soon be estao'
lished.'
The question Of arranging transfers
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1898-02-08

between these companies has been aei-
tated for some time past. and is one
or Sreat moment 20 the people. Nj
John SHELTON Williams of the Traction
Company said a few days ago that his
company was willing 20 agree 10 an ar
rangement whereby each company should
redeem transfers at half-rates. The
Richmond Railway and Electric Com
pany claims that such a scheme would
not be fair. since its lines cover a dis
lance so much greater than those Of tho
Traction Company.
There is considerable interest felt In
the coming report of the expert. and a
general desire that the matter may be
adjusted so thar the people can get the
full benefit OF all the electric lines IN the
city without double cost.
