Whitridge Plans Reorganization of Third Avenue System
Frederick W. Whitridge, receiver, met with Public Service Commission chair Willcox to discuss a Whitridge reorganization plan for the Third Avenue system. The plan includes adding the Sih street crosstown line, owned by Central Park North East River Railroad, to the Third Avenue system, a move bondholders may oppose due to costs. The line, once separated from Metropolitan Street Railway, now runs alone and previously sparked transfer litigation. Central Park, North & East River Railroad faces substantial stock and bond obligations and possible sale costs estimated around 2,060,000 to acquire. Metropolitan holds 300,000 of the company’s stock and is likely to resist Third Avenue ownership. James N. Wallace, chair of the bondholders’ committee, said no definite agreement has been reached.
