BIG MERGER MADE
WITH WEST I: PENN Z
PENDING MONTHS
May Mean Many Changes in
Local Force at the Wat
son Building. ,ssaa

Just as had been expected for
a long time, although consistently
denied for some reason by the
officials of the Monongahe1a Power
& Railway Co., the common stock
of the company will soon pass TO
the West Penn Traction & Water
Power Co. Of Pittsburgh. After
months Of negotiations, the deal
is said to have been consummated
in New York yesterday. and the.
story came to Fairmont over the
Associated Press last night.
Tie details of the merger have
not been worked out. according to
information available here today,
but it was stated that about tnss
first Of the week it would be pos
sible to give detailed outlinesof3
the big deal. All OF the larger
stockholders, 1t is said, have
agreed to the terms of the merger.

1t is rumored that the head
quarters of the former NJ. P. & r.
Co. will in the future be simply
a division point of the West Penn
organization with headquarters in
Pittsburgh This will mean. OF
course, that only comparative
handful of men will be needed in
this section, so far as the offire
ccrned.
u One of the big. topics Of discus
siou on the streets in regard 20
the merger was in regard to how
the dca, would effect the prefer

been made that the West Penn
WAS al lnlS tlHlS DuyluS IL Oily
the common. 1t was the general
opinion among those who specu-
lated on the subject that there
would be jump in the value Of
the preferred stock in the INNS
diate future. This was merely
speculation however, as those in
authority would make no state
ment nor give out any informa-
ton on the matter.
Several weeks ago the then
pending deal that was consum-
mated yesterday was common
talk on the streets, and The West
Eirginian. knowing of the propos-
ed deal, sought statement from
tho M. P. & r. Co. officials. They
requested that an absolute denial
of the proposition be made. at that
time, despite the fact that the
story had leaked out enough 70
be common talk about the city.
The denial of the rumor at that
time that any sort of deal was
pending was never fully swal-
lowed by the local public, so that
the formal announcement today
was no surprise.
