LACkAwANNA THRU TO CHICAGO
Purchase of Controlling Interest in
MicIigan Central Is Probable.

New York, Dec 21-RaiIroad fnan-
cierS came to the conclusion today
that the authorized increase in I.acka-
wanna railroad stock, of which S3,-
600, 600 is to be issued soon, may lead
to plans for the purchase of a con-
trolling interest in the Michigan Cen
trail, one Of the three lines which the
VanderbiIts own and use between Buff
falO and Chicago. In the past there
have been many rumors to the effect
that the Lackawanna as well as the
Lehigh Valley desired a through line
from New York to Chicago. The
former road at one time had an op-
ton on a large amount of Wabash
stock There never has been any idea
of purchase of the Michigan Central
or Nickel Plate until recently, when
the supreme court decision in the
Union Pacific case ordered the sale of
stock of the Southern Pacific, a com
peting line. In the Michigan Central
the New York Central has a road that
both parallels and completes with two
other members of the same railroad
family.
There IS outstanding S1s,73S,O0O Of
Michigan Central stock. paying 6 per
cent. dividends. The New York Cen
trail owns all but S2,000,0OO of this
stock. which is collateral for its 8 u
par value Michigan Central bonds. At
today's market price S12.00O.0OO par
value of the Michigan Central amount
to about SS3, 100000.
Recently. in connection with the |
Michigan Central. the Lackawanna es- /
tablished a new fast passenger service |
between New York and Chicago.
