NEW HAVEN MAY GET
CONNECTICUT RIVER
Future Control OF Railroad Is Said RI
Rest with Disposition of Floating
Debt.

The future control of the Connecticut
River railroad is said to rest with tbe
disposition of its floating debt of 81.
100000. The debt came due and was
extended because the Boston &, Maine
could not make satisfactory terms for
money. It is said that the New Haven
road would like to get the road. The
road is now operated by the Boston &
Maine, under 99-year lease. The
lease provides for a rental equivalent
to some 5.38 per cent per annum upon
book values of the property and for 10
per cent dividends upon outstanding
stock. The Connecticut River lines in7
clude the Vermont Valley railroad
Years ago there was nip-and-tuclx
contest over the Connecticut River he
tween the New Haven and the Boston
S Maine people and it was corralled
over night by the latter. More recent
~ the New Haven through controlling
the Boston & Maine system, has epioy7
ed via the Connecticut River lines a
through route to Canada. This ronte
if linked with the New Haven in a role
competitive with the Boston & Maine
would, it is declared, in no way violate
the sherman law, but would ALWAYS
constitute an important northerIv ex-
tension for the New Haven.
