MAY,OPERATE ONLY ONE ROAD

A long lease on the Cripple Creek
Short Line has been secured by the
Cripple Creek Central Railway com
pany, of which II. NJ. Blackmer is
president, from the Colorado & South
ern Railway company, which owns
the controlling interest in the Short
Line, according TO apparently well
founded rumors in railway circles
here. The lease is said to have be-
come effective December 1, at which
time a change in the auditing depart
pie Creek Central company was af-
fected whereby all moneys due the
Short Line are now being turned over
TO the Florence & Cripple Creek roai,
one of the roads under the control of
the holding company.
For some time rumors of the i'm
pending sale of the Short Line have
been current in railway circles but it
is said that this could not be put
through owing TO the tightness OF the
money market For the last five years
the Short Line has been operated 10y
the Central company under {. working
agreement with the Colorado Midland
and Colorado & Southern which held
the road jointly until recently when
the Southern obtained control. By a
pooling arrangement the receipts and
expenditures of the Short Line, the
Midland Terminal and the Florence &
Cripple roads were divided on a per-
centage basis with the Colorado &
Southern responsible for the interest
on the Short Line bonds.
Last year the Colorado & Southern
share OF the receipts was insufficient
to meet the interest on the bonded IN.
debtedness and a deficit of about
s55,000 was advanced by the G. G. 8
For several months efforts have beer
made to secure more satisfactory
arrangement for the operation of the
Cripple Creek lines and the lease tc
the Central company is said to be the
result.
One OF the features of the new ar,
rangement is said to be the probabil.
fty that during the winter months
either the Short Line or the Midland
Terminal will be closed down. For the
summer season when the passenger
traffic is heavy, both roads are needed
but during the winter months. rail-
way men assert that one road car
handle all the business BY closing
down one of the roads during the
winter months. 1t is said, an immense
saving could be effected in operating
expenses and the probability is that
this will be the outcome OF the new
arrangement. General Manager Jesse
Waters OF the Short Line Is In Chi
