NEW HOLDING COMPANY.
NORTHERN SECURITIES COMPANY IDEA
TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE SOUTH.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l

Baltimore jan 1.-THE Norfolk and Southern
Railroad Company and the Lake Drummond
Canal and Water Company are 10 pass into the
control of a syndicate which is being organized
by Alexander Brown & Sons bankers. of this
city. The deal involves a capitalization of
nearly S5OO00OO and is the first application in
the South of the principle of ownership as illus
trated in the Northern Securities Company. The
company will acquire nearly. if not all the
S2.OOO.000 capital stock OF the Northern and
Southern Railroad Company which was recently
chartered in New-Jersey. II will acquire also
the outstanding bonds of the Lake Drummond
Canal and Water Company, amounting to
SlOOoOoO and not less than SSNO.UOO of the
stock, and possibly the whole issue of 81 .0O0.0O.
The Norfolk and Southern will issue 81 100000
of an authorized issue of 81, ,,00OOO OF stock and
will also put out So 800 900 per cent fifty year
gold bonds
Payment for the securities TO be acquired will
be made partly in cash and partly in the stock
of the new company. The combined earnings OF
the two properties provide for interest on the
, bonds to be issued and leave III per cent for
the stock
The plan will place under one directing infiu-
. ence the two properties which have been COM
petitors for the increasing business from the
early truck regions of North Carolina and the
! nsh and oyster industries of the sounds OF that
state. considerable saving in the handling
OF freight is expected to result from this. The
Norfolk and Southern Railroad Company has
thirty steamers traversing the sounds and trib-
utary rivers of North Carolina. Freight gath
cred by these steamers is unloaded at Elizabeth
CITY and loaded for shipment north
and west Now the vessels will be sent through
the canal to Norfolk. II is authoritatively stat
ed that no advance in freight rates is contem-
plated. and the economies be gained in hand

CHANGE IN ASPHALT TERMS.
BOROUGH PRESIDENTS STILL DISPOSED
TO WAIT TILL PRICES COME DOWN.

Controller Grout and all the borough presi-
dents yesterday afternoon attended cohIer-
ence at which was discussed ways and means
for paving citv streets with something else than
asphalt while the present rates charged by the
asphalt combination last-rates which the DOT
ough presidents declare are excessive py nearly
30 per cent.
Nothing decisive was done. the officials turn
ing the subject over to various city engineers
with a request to make an early report. Borough
President Cantor and his associates, Messrs
Swanstrom and Cassidy the committee appoint
ed to report on the question the full board said
that they were satisfied that the city was pay
ing too much and that they were in favor OF
substituting something for asphalt.
Nelson p. Lewis, of Brooklyn the engineer in
charge of asphalt pavements in Brooklyn. gave
those present the benefit of his knowledge OF the
construction of pavements. He is regarded by
many as a high authority Mr.. Lewis said that
it was not easy to provide suitable substitute
for asphalt, even if asphalt could not be OBJ
tanned more cheapy.
Asphalt specifications were considered. Three
things were decided on-the elimination in the
contract of the guarantee that the pavements
will last for two years the reduction OF the
maintenance provision from ten 10 five years
and that attention should be paid 10 the
character of material than the refining.
An engineer who was present at the meeting
said
Manhatten Ma Borough has been Spending ns ah9a; 3a
asphalt and getting but little more than har the
amount laid that IT ought to get for the money
Brooklyn has been spending about s6JlON0 under
similar conditions. The contractors have eNaCted
s. square yard Five or six years ago the sa me
kind of pavement laid, with the same time
guarantee. 81 90 yard, while for some streets,
similarly laid. only So cents square yard was paid
Yet it is hard TO find a substitute for asphalt.
Wood paving such is down in Twentieth-St,
between Fourth and Fifth aves., is very expensive
Vtrihed brick is nOsier than asphalt, and is not
satisfactory. Whether the city can induce sma i
contra ctorS who have access to asphalt deposits
IN various parts OF the country to come in and bid
IS question. The chances generally speaking,
that asphalt prices will down more than p
per cent this figure will still leave round prnht
but how they will come down is question
