" IMPORTANT i-lLTlMAT! RAIL- + ROAD PLAN FORECASTED Result of Acquisition of New Trolley Interests by New Haver Road. New Haven, Nov. 7.—The acquisition by the New York; New Haven & Hart~ ford Rallroad Co: of mew trolley in- terests in Westchester county, Nev York, together with its plan of ex- tending its New York and Wegtcheater line northward in that county, are be- lieved in railroad circles here to fore- cast an important uitimate railroad plan.

On the hand, from the upper end 3f chester extension only a gap will remain to be spanned to connect with the New Haven system at or not far from Brewsters Station. With that connection made, along with jts new entrance into New York, the New Haven company would have an addi- tional line into New England, which can 'be used for frefght, and to a much less, extent passenger busines and, what'is of greater importance, a close connection with its Poughkeepsie Bridge system, and its Ontario & Western line for western and coal bus- iness. This, it is believed, is one of the most significant features of the New Hdven's terminal work at New York and its Westchester extension. As bearing upon this ultimate project it is recalled that under the contract signed some ven and the Nei panies for the use of b ermina, S veH Haven payments should be based up- on actual busfness entering the termi- nal property.
