BELMONT TO HOLD POWER
WiU Be Maintained Head Of Irac
ton Merger by Totiug Trust.

An engraving firm in this city is now AT worn

Belmont Ryan traction merger, August belflloH'

their stock.
Just what the new company Will be called Is
being kept secret until the details OF tie
merger worked out, but it Is prooaoIe tFlat
the word Securities" will figure in the name
The stock of the company will be exchaneed
for the stock of the Metropolitan Securities Com
pany. the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany. the Interborough and other companies
concerned in the merger. It will be an over
riding corpora ton, with large capitalization and
its directors will have absolute powers. 1t IS
understood that arrangements have been made
for the underwriting of the common stock at
80, instead of go, as was the first plan.
A traction official speaking of the merger yes
terday, said:
We are rather surprised at the attitude of a
certain portion Of the public in regard to this
merger. The claim that it will form a monopoly
of TRANSFORMATION in this city will hold, but it is
a monopoly that is absolutely in the hands or
the people. That the merger will give the PUBLIC

The average citizen will probably feel the
DeneHClal eHeCtS OF the merger IrSL III dII eS-
tension of the transfer system. When the merger
is extended TO the operating departments of the
different lines there will be effort to relieve
the surface lines of their long hauls. There Will
be a system of transfers from streetcars to both
the elevated and subway at various points, and
vice versa. For instance, If car fills up in The
Bronx or in Harlem with passengers who are
going as far south as 14th-st. the company loses
on the haul. Surface cars need short haul pas
sengers to gather in the fares expected Of them
BY means of transfers the crowds can be shifted
to the subway or elevated, which can make the
long haul at profit and without crowding.
If It were possible to break up the merger ana
sift the companies into their component parts
the public would certainly suffer. Powerhouses
would have to be erected in various places to
generate electricity. The giving Of transfers
would no longer be obligatory
