GOV. MEAD SPEAKS
IN BEHALF Of
NEW HAVEN
Wants Rutland R. R. Taken
Over BY That Road
A HEARING AT ALBANY
Think the Rutland Road Would Be
Better Of as a Part Of the
New Haven System

Albany May 2.-More than zoe
prominent residents of Vermont and
northern New York appeared before
the public service commissions re-
opened hearing today to urge the
granting of the application of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company to acquire COZ
trolling interest in the Rutland rail-
road by purchase from the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
comapny.
The Vermont delegation was head
ed by Governor John A. Mead and
with him were representatives from
Rutland, Brattleboro, Vergennes,
Middlebury and Proctor. Among the
New York localities represented were
Ogdensburg, Malone, Massena, Pots
dam, Rouses Point, Champlain, Chat
eaugay, Cherubusco, Mora, Norwood,
Clinton, Burt, Brushton, Lisbon.
Brasher Falls, Madrid and New Leb-
anon.
These men presented petitions
from village boards, commercial bod
les, labor organizations, shippers and
citizens, containing several hundred
/ signatures, from score of cities
and towns along the line of the Rut-
! land road in New York and Vermont,
| all favoring the granting of the New
Haven application.
They claimed that control by the
New Haven would mean an increase
| Of traffic which would amount to
100000 yearly. They explained this
probable increase by declaring that
the New Haven was in better posi-
ton and it would be to its advantage,
more than to the New York Central,
TO give the Rutland railroad large
volume of business traffic.
Samuel Untermyer of New York.
who said he represented 1900
shares of minority stock, opposed the
application. He declared that not
withstanding negotiations now pend
ing, the New Haven had actually ar
ranged to take control of the road,
and that although five months had
elapsed since the former road had
purchased one-half of the majority
stock of the latter from the New
York Central, it had done nothing to
undo the act, which he said was I'M
lawful.
During a controversy with wit
ness, in which the commission ruled
against him, Mr.. Untermyer ex-
claimed. THE minority stockhold-
ers have some rights which thus far
have not been well regarded by the
commission"
James b. Colgate of New York en-
phatically denied what he called Mr..
Untermyer's 'insinuation" that he
had been purchasing Rutland stock
for interests connected with the New
Haven. and characterized the present
opposition OF minority stockholders
as a 'hold-up.' Mr.. Untermyer re-
piled that this characterization was
infamous"
President Mellen of the New Haven
company said that neither he nor any
director of the road had taken or at
tempted to get a single share OF the
minority stock. He also said he was
not willing TO take the minority stock
for the same price as the majority,
nor was he willing to put his inten.
tons In the form of any binding OBJ
legation.
The commission announced that
the case was finally closed and re.
served decision.

LOOKING OVER ROADS
Engineer and County Supervisor
Went to Manchester

A. j. Cooper took Road Engineer
d. H. Winslow, County Supervisor d.
T. Bates and Selectman f. NJ. Craw-
ford to Manchester Thursday BY au-
tomobie in order to give Mr.. Wins
low a chance to see the main road
of the county The worst stretches
OF road found on the trip are in this
town, especially on Harwood hill, and
on the fiat at the foot of the hill,
though some of the road in Airing
ton and Sunderland was rather poor.
Perhaps the best average was found
in SALISBURY with Manchester in
the same class.
Mr.. Winslow will first try to get
thoroughly acquainted with the coun-
ty. and to do that will visit each OF
the II towns and talk over the situa.
ton with the road commissioners
and selectmen. Mr. Winslow has had
20 years experience as a road engin
eer and wishes the towns to know
that he is not here to dictate, but
to help with his experience which
has been in all parts of the country
He is a native of Massachusetts and
so is familiar with New England con
ditions.
