the merger of the Washington, Alex

Company and the Washington, Airing
ton and Falls Church Railway Com
pany as the Washington-V Virginia Rail
way Company. The maximum capital
stock of the consolidated corporation is
to be 100000, and the minimum
$4,000, with par value in shares OF
800 each. The formal merger OF the
lines had already been anticipated ny
action taken at stockholders meetings
OF the two companies recently. The
Washington. Alexandria and Mount
Vernon Railway held ninety-nlne-
year lease on the property OF the wash
ington, Arlington and Falls Church
line. so that there will no change ID
the present control and operation.
Report has had it for some time that
these consultations we're the result OF
control by the Gould interests OF both
lines, and that eventual connection with
the water power rights owned by the
Goulds at Fredericksburg, and with the
Richmond and Chesapeake Bay Rail
way at Ashland was contemplated.
The papers filed, however, do not show
any such plan, nor have the attorneys
usually associated with the Gould IN
terests in Virginia taken part in the
proceedings, which are declared to be,
entirely in the interests Of Washington
parties owning the two suburban
electric lines, one running to Mount
Vernon, the home Of Washington,
and the other to Arlington, the home
