THE BIG
MERGER
DEAL.

Company VIII Increase Cap
itaI S28,000,OO0.

Philadelphia, June s.-An important
deal involving several millions. the con-
summation Of which will mean the taking
over by the United Gas Improvement
company OF extensive gas. electric light
and traction interests in Rhode Island.
is under negotiation. and its completion
now seems assured.
While the United Gas Improvement
company has invaded Connecticut ana
controls In that state not only gas ana
electric light, but traction properties
also, II has thus far net extended it's ter
ritory 30 far into New England rs Rhode
Island.
The interests which II is proposed to
take over are the Unted Traction and
Electric company, tho Providence Gas
company, the Narragansett Lighting and
Power company and 0s Rhode Island
Suburban company. n is proposed that
these companies shall FIRST be taken as
the Rhode Island company. which shall
then turn them over 20 the United Gas
Improvement company.
The deal with the Upited Traction and
Electric company seess nearest compile
ton. This company controls the street
railway business OF Providence and Paw
tucket, operating III ubeles OF track. The
Rhode Island suburban company operates
a number OF lines from Providence 10
the surrounding country. Tho other
companies have practically the gas and
electric business OF the two cities
Some time ago, when the company be-
gan to make acquisition In Connecticut.
there was a project To link New York
and Boston with tho continuing trulleys,
parailelin the New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad, but was denied
today that any such thing 10 In contem-
plauon 1t was stated that tho present
deal is not a part of any such scheme,
but is merely the acquisition OF local
Providence properties.
Senator Nelson w. Aldrtch, who has at
tended conferences in this city several
times OF late. IL one of those largely In
terested In the properties. An Official OF
the United Gas Improvement company,
when asked today concerning the deal.
said that while the company frequently
is involved In negotiations that do not 60
through. and while the carrying out or
such deal cannot be said to be assured
until the last step IL taken, II looks as
IL this will be successful.
Thus far none OF the companies has
been taken over by the Rhode Island
company. though that corporation has
already been chartered In Providence
He could not predict when the final steps
in the matter will be taken. The United
Gas Improvements company is a Philadel-
phia corporation. OF which Thomas Doian
Is president. and George Philier, Samuel
t, Bodine and Randall Morgan vice
presidents. It's board of directors in
cludes William l.. Elkins. p. A. B. Wild
ener, Clement A. Griscom and William
w. Gibbs.
At it's annual meeting yesterday the
company voted to increase its capital
stock from 50, 500. 900 TO SIS, ,25oo0o, the IN
