NAY TAKE IN BROOKLYN
Less Opposition to Traction Merger
than Erpected at First.

This week will be an interesting one in the life
Of the new Interborough- Metropolitan Company,
which was formed last week 10 merge the traction
lines Of Manhattan and The Bronx, with posi-
biuty that Brooklyn VIII virtually come in before
long under an alliance. II it had not been for Ger
tain provisions the transfer law, It is likely that
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit would have figured in
the merger.
At the election Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
board on Friday there were further indications that
there is a close connection between the two com
panies. Several members Of the board are heavily
interested in the new merger. If the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit were taken in, were the Inter
borough and Metropolitan lines, the company would
ind itself compelled by law to carry passengers
from Fort George to Coney Island for fare. It
is believed that intimate alliance will be formed
which viii improve traction facilities in all three
boroughs.
There has been less opposition TO the merger than
most OF the financial world expected. There was
rush Of stockholders 10 the office Of August Bel

deposit their holdings under the terms offered
