REPORT GRAND TRUNK
 AFTER THE STATE FIER

New London is eagerly in search of business for its great state pier, Thus far the million dollar enterprise seems to have been something of an elephant on the hands of the city. This, perhaps, ae- counts for the story coming from the Whaling City to the effect thst the Grand Trunk railroad is seekiRg te bay the state pier as part of move for the expansion of the Central yern:ent railroad. now con- trolled by the Canadian read,
 New Haven road officials p that city prefessed to be not much interested about the affairs of the Grand Trunk road, but the story was generally diseredited and chiefly because it was said that none Of the railroads were yenturing into new en- terprises CT expeHdiRg money outside of the regular channels of business. Another feature of the New London story, as given below, was said to be plausible, having some basis in fact.
 The Grand Trunk. it is said, would pre- fer to use the Central Vermont road rather than to go to the expense of mil lions of dollars to complete the abandoned Southern New England road in it's en- deayer to reach New England seapsrt l into Providence. The Chamber of Com
 meFee of Providence is acqtelyl interested ] in g revival of the Southern New Eng | land road as part of plans now under was | te increase business of that city. A com
 mittee of Providence business men is nov 1 in Canada, it is said. in conference witl Frank Trunk officials of the Canadian
