New Haven. Conn. May @.--1n con-

there have been between 10 and 30 con-
solidations OF various kinds In the sys-

To these Will be added at the end OF the

pany The next step VIII be the pro-
gressive merging OF the intricate system

presidency OF consolida tion into one CEN

troll. successfully merging steam roads
putlyng in Rhode Island and southern

system. parts OF which are the Boston
and Providence. and the Providence and
Worcester roads, and then the consoli-
dation OF the Boston and Maine sys-
tern.
The latter has large part Of its prop
critics under lease. and payment OF rentals
constitutes a very large part OF the fixed
charges OF the Boston and Maine sys-
tenn. These rentals compel slow con-
solldation process and good deal OF
legislation.
Another question which excltes great
interest In railroad circles east OF the
Mississippi and the Great Lakes Is the
status OF the Boston and Albany line OF
the New York Central after the Boston

and Maine merger has been completed.
President Mellen has during the last two
or three years been steadily invading
Boston and Albany territory with IS
trolley lines. While the New York Cen
tral might hesitate long before sur
rendering so important an Eastern out
let for ns-continental traffic. the po-
sltion OF the Boston and Albany. as re-
CARDS earning power. seems likely TO be
one OF considerable difficulty.
Viewed IN connection with the reported
coming transfer OF the Ontario and West
ern TO the New York Central railroad
the general situation suggests some form
OF comprehensive arrangements hstween
the New York Central and the New
Haven corporation for a division OF ter
ritory.
Whether n treaty would allow for pos
sible transfer OF the Boston and Albany
line 10 the New Haven company Is
matter time will probably work out In
the immediate future, as Will also be
solved the future OF the growing system
OF the Bangor and Aroostook road In
Maine
Another subject of uncertainty Is Presi-
dent Melen's policy when in control OF
the Boston and Maine in regard to street
railway rivalry and the acquisition OF
the rival roads. In his policy OF buying
the whole railway systems OF Connecticut
and Rhode Island and large interests in
Massachusetts, represent market values
OF not less than s100.0O0.Oo0 and a gross
earning power OF some sis9,ooo,0o0 a year.
In taking up the Boston and Maine he
will. In less degree. face the same prob
lem OF street railway rivalry as he found
in southern New England.
nnal feature OF the situation Is the
vesting In a Connecticut corporation Of
practically the entire railroad system and
large part OF the street railways Of
New England. which will mean a con-
siderably large representation In the New
Haven corporation OF the local interests
OF Ave other New England states.
