Roads in Its Decision on Mer.

Budd, Great Northern Pres.
ident, States

Minneapolis, Oct. 28.-(R-Testi-
mony showing the conGiti of nine
short line railroads which operate
IA total Of $50 mile, of tracks in
Minnesota and other northwest
states and which must have consid-
Grafton as an essential part of the
transportation structure in the terri
tory affected by the proposed Great
Northern-Northern Pacific merger
occupied the foreground at today's
session of the unification hearings
here.
OF the nine short lines, three
serve Minneapolis and five are
owned or operated in Minneapolis.
Of the nine smaller roads, however,
only three have been able to show
operating profits for an average OF
the six years Of l921-1926 inclusive.
Six Of the lines reported deficits,
including one Of over 100000. The
witness who presented the figures
was II. h. Dougan, assistant gen.
eral auditor Of the Great Northern
railway.
Three Are Opposed
All Of the nine short lines have
intervened in the northern unifica-
tion proceedings but only three have
announced opposition to the merger
scheme. These three roads are the
Minnesota, Western Electric short
line terminal company and Mime
apolis. Anoka and Guyana Range.
While the introduction Of testi-
mony relative to the short lines,
some of which are feeders and 9TH
ers are competitors of one or the
other of the Northern roads, appar-
emily marks an interruption in the
task Of building up evidence in sup
port of consolidation, the figures of
the earnings and operations are of
prime importance in the case, Ralph
Budd, president Of the Great North
ern. explained today.
"These short lines have place
in the transportation picture Of the
northwest" Mr.. Budd said. I'm
fact, such a picture could not be
complete without them. The inter-
state commerce commission will
have to give consideration to the
future of these lesser roads, in its
decision on the merits of the Nor
thern unification plan. We regard
it as a useful move to bring on this
block Of evidence now, and have il
on the records, for use whenever the
commission needs it."
40 Roads Considered
About 40 short line roads in tn,
all are to be considered in the com
pilation of evidence by the nor
thern roads. Most Of them have in
tervened formally. The nine whicl
are being discussed in today's testi
