The New Haven owns all of the stock of the Navigation company. A rvepresentative of the bankers said yesterday that an inspection of the property, starting with a trip over the New York Cognecting Railway com- pany, had convinced him that the New Haven had not been in such excellent shape, nor so well operated, in a great many years. ‘“We have finally turned the corner,” he said. ‘““The Pennsyl- vania officials have taken a close in- terest in New Haven affairs, because of the company's large holdings of New Haven stock, and they were grat- ifled at the evidences of better man- ent all along the line.
