Unless Commerce Commission Author- izes Their Holding, Says President Mellen. Unless the interstate commerce com- mission authorizes the holding of steamboat properties by the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, every steamboat line controlled by that company down to the very last propeller blade, thereby includin~ the boats operated from New London, will be sold by the New Haven, probably within the coming year, and the sale will be a bona fide transaction by which the New Haven will absolutely rid itselfl of every pies of floating stock except that used directly in con- nection with the railroad business, ac- cording to a statement made by Presi- dent C. S. Melien. The proposed transaction, which will ipvolve the millions of money the New Haven has put into the acqu tion of steamboat lines plying between w England ports and between New England, New York and other Atlantic coast points, will not, as officially stat. ed, be merely a transfer of these ~rop- erties to a company that will be prac- tically owned and surely controlled by the New Haven system. According to Mr. Mellen, the lines will be disposed of; in fact, the company will attend strictly to the business of running a railroad. Mr. Mellen was asked if he cared to make any comment on the report of Commissioner of Corporation Luther Conant, Jr., to President Taft. in which the commissioner said that the New Haven road had pursued a policy of suppressing competition on Long 1sland sound and that many of its recent purchases could be laid to that policy. In reply, Mr. Mellen said he did not care to make comment on the com- missioner’s report at the present time. He probably had good reason for de- clining to comment on a government report just at this time, for he has a little affalr with the government in New York which will oecupy his per- sonal attention and the attention of the eminent legal advisers of the road for some time to come. But Mr. Mellen, after saying he did not care to speak of the Conant re- port, said: “We are to sell our steam- ship holdings under the present law in 1914 unless they are authorized by. the interstate commerce commission so our interest will soon be lost in this matter.” The steamboat Iines owned by the New Haven are numerous, and then there are a number of other lines in which the New Haven has large stock holdings, such as the Merchants' and Miners' Transportation company out of Boston, in which the road owns stuck, but does not hold control. As stated by the president of the New Haven a few days ago, many of the steamship lines, at least those ply- ing between ports in thig state and New York city, came to the New Ha- ven at the time it took over the rail- roads that had been operated by the New Haven under leas.e He pointed out at that time, too, that the steamer lines were not paying nropositions if operated independent of the railroad. but they could be made payable with the co-operation of the railroad and would serve the railroad as a means of relleving the congestion of its freight business. Just before the fiscal year of the last the New HavVen Steamship company wag organized to run the steamships on Long Island sound formerly oper- ated by the New England Navigation company. The capitalization of the New ¥ngland Steamship company was jumped up to $6,000,000 to pay for the Steamers taken over from the New England Navigation, but the st s and bonds of the New England Steam- ship remained, however, in the treas- ury of the New Haven system. It was a change of name of the operatine con- cern, but not a change in control of the properties. But the proposed sale of the steam- ship lines of the New Haven is not to be that sort of a transaction, as stated on the best of railroad authority. The road will divest itself of every bit of its steamship holdings and in such a way that there will be no room for doubt that the company has gone out of the steamship business. Reference made to the Merchants' and Miners' Transportation company was merely Incidental, for the New Haven owns large blocks of stock in other marine enterprises touching at New England ports. For Instance, the New Haven owns $2,302,500 of the common and prefrrred stock of the Eastern Steamship company and $2,- 437,600 of the same concern's first mortgage bonds, according to the last annual report of the New Haven. How- ever, it is claimed by the New Haven company that it does not control the Eastern Steamship company. It claims not to have a volce in the manage- ment of that concern’s affairs. In sup- port of this statement there are no in- terlocking directors. That is, none of the directors of the Eastern is a di- rector of the New Haven railroad. It is understood that negotiations are pending for the transfer of the New Haven's marine lines to an in- depepdent concern, but could not be verified at offices of the company. negotiations may be in progress, cording to the statement of the head of the road, they could not be closed and become effective for a year at least.

Those who are pushing the pro- Ject point out that if the state should take the Groton ferry under its juris- diction the state would probably be more careful about that grade cross- ing. It is pointed out that as the fer- ryboat is the only means of transpor- tation between New London and Gro- ton it becomes a highway, and that New Londoners wishing to go to Gro- ton, and residents of Groton wishing to go to New Lonon should be afford- ed a means to do so without contribut- ing to anybody’s profit.
