MAY FIGHT MERGER
Arlington Electric Company
Proposition Opposed.
LEGAL STEPS limited AT
Alexandria County Lighting Con-
Germ Owns Some of the Stock.
LEGAL STEPS limited A:

Opposition to the merging of the Ar
lington Electric Company with the Mary
d-NirSinia Railway Company recently
chartered, with capitalization Of $3O-
100000. may be made by the Alexandria
County Lighting Company, which sup
plies the former concern with electric
light and power distributed by it in Falls
Church and throughout the northern part
of Alexandria county, Va.
This became known Yesterday when it
was learned that the Alexandria County
Lighting Company owns some of the
stock of the Arlington company. 1t will
vote this stock for or against the merger
but there is said to be little probability
but that the latter course will be pursued.
The Alexandria company has refused to
become part of the amalgamatton pact
and there have been hints that, if out
voted with respect to the absorption of
the Arlington company. it might resort
to legal steps to prevent this company
from afhliating with the merger
Statement of Attorney.
Leo P. Harlow, attorney for the Alex
andria County Lighting Company, last
night stated that the company had not
decided what action 1t would take in the
matter. The stockholders of the Arling-
ton company are to meet October IA to
ratify or reject the action taken by the
directors of that company favoring the
merger project. Mr.. Harlow said that
the Alexandria company would reach a
decision probably within the next few
days as to the course it will pursue.
The Arlington company purchases the
electric light and power distributed by II
from the Alexandria County Lighting Com
under a twO-year contract, which is to
expire next spring. If the present merger
plans mater1alize the service distributed
by the Arlington company will be sup
piled by the Potomac Electric Power
Company, one Of the affiliated properties
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company proposed to be absorbed IN
the merger. Thus, the Alexandra
County Lighting Company is in danger
of losing one of it's principal customers.

1t was stated on reliable authority that
If the Washington Virginia Railway
Company becomes a part of the amalga-
mated system, in accordance with the
plans now under consideration, the Falls
Church line, Opearted by this company
will be double-tracked from Washington
to West Falls Church.
The road is now provided with
double track between Vinson station and
Veitch summit. distance of about three
miles, and between Arlington Junction
and 10Th street, in Washington 1t is
stated that the installation Of a COM
plete double track system from Washing
