Boston and Maine R. R. President Requests
Retirement After II Years
RUMORED BUT CAME AS SURPRISE
President of New York, New Haven and Hartford Made
Acting President of B. & M.-Means Practical Con-
summation of Merger of Two Roads-Leave Of ABB
sence to President Tuttle for Remainder of Term.

, the practical consummation of the
merger of that road with the New
Haven railroad, which has generally
been accepted as fact for the past
year or more. The movement for this
merger began when the New Haven
railroad purchased a controlling own
ership of the Boston and Maine stock.
When the Massachusetts courts prac-
tically forced it to relinquish this
stock it was sold to John l.. Billiard OF
Meriden, Conn, and later was ac-
CURED by the Boston Railroad Holding
company. the organization of which
for this express purpose was author
lied by the last session of the Massa-
chusetts legislature. Holding this stock
as security, the holding company was
authorized to issue bonds to the amount
of S2,000.000, the proceeds of their sale
to be used for the improvement of the
property of the Boston and Maine COM
pany. These bonds, by the terms of
the legislative act, could be sold to any
railroad company operating in New
England. and they were purchased by
the New Haven company. Thus the
New Haven railroad is owner in all but
name of the Boston and Maine.
