To Boom New England.
Three Railroads Join Publicity Forces.
Will Exploit Both Winter and Summer
Advantages.
BOSTON, November 30. The latest de-
velopment in the virtual merger of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford and
Boston & Maine railroads is new joint
department, embracing the New Haven,
Boston & Maine and Maine Central, to
take over the advertising of the three
roads, also to methodically care for the
interests of the travelling public and to
boom New England, not only as sum-
mer resort, but a winter resort as well.
| While not as yet officially given title
this department is called the joint pub
licity bureau of the New Haven, Boston
& Maine and Maine Central railroads.
Its one Office is on the fifth floor of the
| South station and it has no branches.
The manager of this bureau said yes
terday that a new fireproof hotel will be
erected on the summit of Mt. Washing
ton to take the place of the hostelry
which was burned; that the Mt. Kineo
house is being enlarged, and that in the
near future the public will be able to
take seat in parlor car at the North
station, Boston, and be carried without
change or other discomfort to the chief
resorts If Maine and New Hampshire on
quick schedules.
TIME-sAvER TO THE PUBLIC.
While telling Of the wonderful posi-
bilities of New England as summer
resort, he took up the subject of winter
business in the great white highlands,
and said that exploitation in this field
was inaugurated by the original adver-
Using department Of the Boston 4 Maine
three years ago.
Last season, "he said, "from Deem
Der Is, to February 7, 5000 guests were
entertained at small hotels in the noun
tains. We firmly believe it is possible
for New England to be as great winter
resort as it is summer resort.
The basic principle of this new bureau
is concentration. Study will be given to
methods whereby the general travelling
public may obtain specific and general
| information at one source. At this room
| in the South station an answer may be
found to any question relating to New
England resorts. The bureau, IN the
estimation of its manager, will be OF
direct assistance to the public and will be
a time-saver.
ENCOURAGING ADDED TRAVEL.
"We find" he said, that the resort
business in New England attracts mu.-
titude of tourists, travellers and vaca.
tionists from every part of the United
States. The business is growing rapidly
and in view of this cooperation is neces-
sary to examine into the needs and posi-
bilities of the public and help build w
these possibilities.
.In the concentration of this depart
ment we are able to direct our efforts
along publicity lines that have hereto
fore been working at cross purposes
with more or less perplexity to the
public.
'In the past, patrons of any one of the
three big roads have sometimes received
different answers in their requests tol
information. By this concentration we
avoid this inconvenience of obtaining in
u formation. Our idea is to please ant
care for the public and encourage ad
ditional travel.
''The department will study the future
possibilities of this great vacation lane
in the Joint interests of the public ant
ourselves.
TRAIN SCHEDULES SHORTENED.
'In the matter of through service
from metropolitan centers, train seized
ules will be shortened, the latest I'M
proved equipment will be employed II
