Consolidation of Former and the
Lake Shore Likely TO Lead
To This Result

Railroad men are wondering wheth-
or the consolidation o, the Lake Shore
a Michigan Southern railroad with
the New York Central. FOR which per
mission has been asked OF tue public
service commission Of New York. Will
compel the New YORK Central 70 give
up It's stock holdings in the Michigan
Central The New York Central owns
sl6,Sle,300 out OF slS,73S.000 OF the
capital stock oL~the Michigan Central.
Consolidation. railroad men say,
would make the New York Central a
competing parallel line, and Il Is
doubtful II the road could continue
90 hold a majority OF the Michigan
Central stock, according 70 the su-
preme courts decision IN the Union
Pacifc-S Southern Pacific case
Whatever financial Arrangement
may result. &c IS probable that ser.
vice viii not be affected. however
for there Is nothing 10 prevent con.
tracts for service between competing
roads, and II IL IS for the best interest
OF the community and Incidentally OF
the railroads, that present service ar
continue uninterrupted, i;
IA likely that he necessary arrange
