Merger Prospects for New Haven and Boston & Maine
New Haven reports indicate the New York New Haven Hartford group may secure stock control rather than a lease in the Boston & Maine merger. Minority Boston & Maine holders could receive dividends from the larger company, while Ontario & Western and New York Central considerations are noted as unlikely. A Connecticut trolley group and the New England Navigation firm would inject about 30 million in stock to fund the merger, with roughly ten million aimed for early use.
