franchises over the proposed line
have at last become the property OF
the Consolidated, the operating com.
pany of the New York. New Haven

ranged to operate the property for the
present, which is understood to mean
until the Consolidated has its Jew line
completed.
"The purchase by the New York,
New Haven & Hartford has proved to
be a good thing for the small stock
holders OF the Bennington and Hoosac
Valley liue. AS is often tn, case with
small holdings in stock companies the
Investment did not prove renumer-
