IMPORTANT ULTIMATE RAIL-
 ROAD PLAN FoRECASTED
Result of Acquisition of New Trolley Interests by New Haven Road.

New Haven. Nov. 7.-The acquisition by the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford Railroad Co. of new trolley in- terests in Westchester county. New York, together with it's plan of ex- tending it's New York and Westchester line northward in that county, are be- lieved in railroad circles here to fore cast an important ultimate railroad plan. By it's New York and Westches- ter line through the Bronx the New Haven will ere long acquire by sub- ways new entrance into New York which will dirert business from the Grand Central terminal On the other hand, from the upper end of it's West chester extension only a small gap will remain to be spanned to connect with the New Haven system at or not far from Brewsters Station. With that connection made. along with it's new entrance into New York, the New Haven company would have an addi- tional line into New England, which can be used for freight, and to a and. what is of greater importance. a close connection with it's Poughkeepsie Bridge system, and it's Ontario & Western line for western and coal bus mess This, it is believed, is one of the most significant features of the New Haven's terminal work at New York and its Westchester extension. As bearing upon this ultimate project it is recalled that under the contract signed some time ago by the New, Ha- ven and the New York Central com panies for the use of the Grand Central terminal, it was provided that the New Haven payments should be based up- on actual business entering the termi- nal property. This was a point upon which the negotiations of the New Ha- ven and the New York Central were halted for some time.
