PERSONSIENTAS GOVERNORS AGREE New Haven Road Head Does Not Comment on Merger Plan New York, July 3.—E. J. Pearson,| president of the New York, New Ha ven and Hartford Railroad company,| declined here yesterday to comment on the report that the financial con- dition of the New Haven is so bad that it faces the necessity of "rehabil- itation by co-operation,” or the alter- nature of rehabilitation by receiver-| ship. The report has just been submitted, after 10 months’ deliberation, by the| joint New England railroad commit- | tee to the governors of the New Eng-| land states, in conference at Poland Springs, Me.

The report referred to was made Sunday to the assembled governors at Poland Spring by James J. Stor- row, chalrman of the joint New Eng- 1and railroad committee named by the | governors 10 months ago to study the| New England transportation problem | in order to determine what the atti-| tude of New England should be to- wards the Transportation Act of 1920 directing the. interstate commerce commission to prepare a plan for the| consolidation of the railroads of the United States into a limited number| of systems. The telegram also asked | that the several state chairmen of the Joint committee represent New Eng- land at the hearing.” Rehabilitation of the Boston and Maine and the New York, New Haven and Hartford as a VAWYE-10- KHEAD Enjoy Every with a Buic Care-free vacation time h | for preliminary step toward the consol- idatton of the two roads into a New England system was recommended.
