i Be Rehablitated, Report Says Poland Springs, Me, July 2.—Re- habilitation of the Boston and Maine | and New York, New Haven and Hart- ford railroads possibly as a prelim- inary step to consolidation of New England systems was recommended by the joint New England railroad committee headed by James J. Stor- row of Boston to the governors of "New England states assembled here. | Consolidation with outside trunk lines was not favored, “New England would like to wear its own breeches,' sald the report. “We submit that it should be allowed to do so unless a clear case can be made out why one | leg should be handed over to the Pennsylvania rallroad or to the Balti- more and Ohio or to the New York| Central.”" “If financial considerations permit, the welfare of New England can be better served by the consolldation of the New England systems, leaving out the Boston and Albany, Central Ver- mont, and the Grand Trunk line to| Portland and the Canadian Pacific mileage in Maine and northern Ver- mont.” Rehabilitation First The committee added that such consolidation is neither advisable nor equitably possible until each of the two major New England systems, the Boston and Maine, and New Haven shall have first been rehabilitated and shall have shown the financial and operating results it is capable of pro- ducing under normal conditions and with restored credit. For the two roads the committee therefor rec- ommended a voluntary and compre- hensive financial readjustment of co- operation to which bond and stock- holders would contribute; state aid by remission of taxes to make up de- ficits; control by state appointment trustees for a period of ten years and guaranty by the states of the new bonds for improvements. The Maine and New Hampshire committees signed the report with| reservations as to the consolidation| part of the program. The New, Hampshire committee did not believe ~there should be any consolidation of | New England rallroads at the present | time. The Maine committee believed | the interests of that state would be adversgely affected by the adoption of any form of consolidation considered | by the committee. i The joint committee, comprising 30| men appointed by the several gover-| nors, began ten months ago their| work of surveying the New England | roads from all angles in relation to| the sectlon of the transportation act| of 1920 directing the interstate com- | merce commission to prepare .'«md| plan for consolidatlon of the rail- roads of the [United States into a limited number of systems. Suggests Joint Committee As a concluding finding, the com- | mittee's report suggests that commit- | tees be appointed by the several states to act jointly in formulating a detailed program and' if such joint commit- | tee receives from the stockholders) and bondholders of the New Haven| d the Boston and Maine reasonable | urance of co-operation a special on of each of the legislatures of | ‘the six New England states should be | called to meet.in October for the pur- pose of dealipg with the rehabllita- tlon of these two railroad systems. For the New Haven the commit- tee recommended a voluntary re-| organization without recourse to re-| ‘oeivership. It is proposed that New !Haven bondholders submit to a scal- | {ing down of thelr bonds by $76,000,- | 000 taking in return a new five per .pent preferred stock cumulative from | yJanuary 1, 1937. The present stock- | ‘holders are asked to undertake to| raise $15,000,000 in cash by buying or arranging for the purchase by others, from the company enough common | stock to bring in that amount. It is recommended that the old par value| of $100 be abolished, permitting new gtock to be sold for its market value, | State Cooperation. | The committee is of the opinion| that state cooperation should be ex- ' tended by the states of Connecticuf, Rhode Ysland and Massachusetts, each undertaking to return to the road such portion of the taxes paid by the| New Haven to the states, cities and | towns within the state as may he re- LS i FOR SALE Two Family Honse of Fleven Rooms, at Belvidere, Hard wood trim, Chamberlain weather strips, two furnaces.

Government Ald. The committee urged that the federal government be requested to fund the New Haven company’'s in- debtedness to it for a reasonable period at four per cent interest. The | report declared that receivenship for the New Haven would not involve heavy expense, but would be accom- panied hy a depressing effect on New | England, | For the rehabilitation of the Bos- {ton and Maine the committee recom- | mended in detail a plan similar in | some respects to that proposed for the New Haven. Under this plan| | bondholders would be asked to ex- tend for twelve vears some $48,000,- { 700 of bonds maturing prior to De- | cember 31, 19 " 500 REFUGEES ARRIVE | Nomadic Band of Russians Who Have Been Wandering Around Since 1921 Reaches San Francisco.
