The announcement which Is made by

the New York Central.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE Tribune
says;
The interests in control Of the New
York Central have under consideration
plan for merging the Big Four rail-
road into the New York Central sys-
tenn. The ownership OF the Big Four is
vested absolutely in the Nanderbilts.
This was announced some time ago,
and Is shown by the public reports
made by ;he New York Central.
For some time a merging of the pro-
pertlts has heen contemplated, but 1t
was not until recently that the plan
took definite shape. II has been known
for n long time that II was at the dis
posal OF Vanderbilt interests as.A Its
manifest destiny was TO become an In
tergral part OF the New York Cen
trail. Il Is said that the New York
Central will be helped 10 a marked de-
gree by this move.
Upon lust what basis the absorption
win take place cannot be stated, but
there Is a report that the stockholders
will be asked 10 exchange stock FOR a
sh per cent New York Central bond.
Another step In line with the railroad
mergers and consultations now going
on was taken Saturday when the con-
troll OF the Cincinnati. Portsmouth and
Virglnia railroad passed TO the Nor
folk and Western. The Norfolk and
Western Is owned by the New York
Central l-Pennsylvania combination.
