st. Paul, December Embarrassing
the mileage of the transcontinental
system of the st. Paul road to a to-
tai of 1929, the report that the
property and assets Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and Puget Sound rail-
way are in progress of incorpora-
ton with those of the parent com
pany practically is confirmed in st.
Paul offices of the road today.
Plans have been perfected at the
general offices in Chicago. it is said,
to assume all obligations Of the
Puget Sound line in such way as
to effect no change in the outstand-
ing stocks and bonds of the sub
sidary company. 1t is understood
ton is to obtain greater efficiency
in operation for the entire ST. Paul
system.
Since the Puget Sound line has
been operated under the control of
the st. Paul road, it has been in
corporated primarily for financial
reasons in separate entities under
the laws of North Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho and Washington. Since
it has developed that the Puget
Sound as a separate corporation has
proved self-sustaining. the reported
consolidation as a definite part of
the ST. Paul system is said to be
the natural result Of it's advance
ment. .4a.E.. ..
1t is probable that the consolida-
ton will add to the Importance of
the freight and passenger offices in
the twin city. Although no official
announcement has been made, w. B.
Dixon, assistant general passenger
agent at St Paul, and Il. e. Otis,
eastern commercial agent with local
headquarters, probably also will rep
resent the interests of what has
been known as the Puget Sound
line
If the Incorporation is effected it
is said that the general offices o.
the Puget Sound at Seattle will be
retained as western headquarters.
