New England lines proposals.—The injunction restraining the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rd. from building on the right-of-way in Woonsocket, R.I., for which plans have been filed by the New England Southern Rd., is effective until Sept. 16, when the question whether the land is necessary to the N.E.S.R. or to the N.Y., N.H. and H. Rd., will be argued. One of the conditions upon which the injunction was granted was that the N.E.S.R. should put up a bond to indemnify the N.Y., N.H. and H.R. from any loss should a final decision be given in its favor. A bound of $50,000 was put up Aug. 5. A somewhat similar situation has arisen in Burlington, Vt., where the Rutland Rd. has filed track allowances on Lake St., which the Central Vermont Rd., the controlling company of the N.E.S.R. claims to own. E. H. Fitzhugh, President, and G. C. Jones, General Manager, C.V.R., are negotiating for a settlement.
The organization of the New England Southern in Massachusetts was completed in Boston, Aug. 17. The certificate states that $1,000,000 of capital has been subscribed, and $100,000 paid in. The company proposes to build a railway from Palmer, Mass., to Providence, Rhode Island. The entire capital is in the hands of officials of the Central Vermont Ry., which is controlled by the G.T.R.
