Grand Rapids Man Says 1t Will

Many State Holdings,

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Dec. 25.-
General Manager Hanchett, OF the
Grand Rapids Street Railway Co..
says the proposed merger o. the cleo
trio light. power and traction com
panies and the gas properties in Mich
Igan OF the firms OF Hodenpyl Wal
bridge & Co. OF New York. and f. w.
Clarke and Co. OF Philadelphia, will
prove greatly beneficial to Grand
Rapids. Mr.. Hanchett has just re-
turned from the east. lie gave out the
following statement:
There is now no doubt that the
merger will take place. perhaps as
soon as the first OF the year. II II
does, all Il means 10 the Grand Rapids
independent property. although there
will be no change IN the general man
agement.
One OF the great reasons for the
merger is the development OF the enor
nous water power OF the An Sable
river and at other points. II will,
believe, be good thing for Grand
Rapids
According 10 the information receiv-
ed nearly three months ago. the firms
OF Hoienpyl Walbridge x Co, and r.
W. Clarke * Co, have decided TO
merge their Michigan interests. These
plans include the organization OF two
holding companies. one representing
the electric light. power and traction
companies. the other the gas prop
critics OF the two houses. The merger
will included not only the Hodenpyl,
Walbridge & Co. and the +. w. Clarke
& Co. interests. but also those OF w.
A. Foote and those associated with
him in water power development.
In one OF the mergers. il Is under
stood. there will be placed the Grand
RAPIDS Street Railway Co. the Grand
Rapids Muskegon Power Co the Com
monwealth Power Co. the Cadillac
Water & Power Co. the Saginaw-Bay
City Street Railway interests. the Au
Sable Power Co. and, possibly, some
minor companies.
The gas combine takes in Kalama-
200. Jackson and Pontiac companies.
and possibly. Flint. Bay City and Sag
inaw properties.
Local men are in the dark as 10 Just
what II all means. but expect 10 get
more light on the subject upon the ar
rival OF Anton G.. Hodenpyl. who Is
expected here next week.
one of the interesting points OF the
plan ia that discussed by those who
have followed the different rumors or
the supposed merger. II is pointed
our that at present there are electric
lines running from Detroit TO nearly
all points I'm the central part OF the
state and all that Is necessary 10 make
a complete circuit Is TO build line
from Grand Rapids TO Jackson through
Ionia and other thriving towns. ~
this goes through it would mean much
