PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
MERGER IS CONFIRMED
One 10000, 600 Company to Con-
troll Lines West Of
Pittsburgh.

PHILADELPHIA. August 12.-The
merger of tho Pennsylvania railroad
lines west Of Pittsburgh into one cor
poration. to be known az the Pitts
burgh. Cincinnati. Chicago and st.
Louis Railroad Company. was on1cially
confirmed here today. The consolidation
Of the fve railroads does not involve
tho acquisition Of properties by the
Pennsylvania railroad. it was announc-
ed. but will mean the simplidcation Of
the corporate and financial structure
of all of the lines concerned in the con-
solidation. All Of the units will be gov
erned by one head instead of the pres
ent system whereby each conducts its
business separately. The simplification
of the management of these lines will
result in a material reduction in the
expenditures of each. The authorized
capital of the new corporation will ex-
coed 100.000.000, it was said.
The Pennsylvania company. which Is
controlled by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. owns virtually three
quarters OF the outstanding stock of
the Ave lines to be taken into the mer-
ger. including the Panhandle, the Van
dalia, the Pittsburgh. Wheeling and
Kentucky railroads. the Chicago, Indi-
ana and Eastern railway and the An
derson Belt railway. The new sys-
tenn will have a mileage Of 2.346 miles
in territory southwest of Pittsburgh.
The total outstanding stock Of these
lines Is approximately $88;000.000.
