ADHERE TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN.

Some years since Congress- ut the instance of of
our most respectable citizens appropriated sum of
money to build enginehouse at central point be-
tween 7th and 9Th Streets and Pennsylvania
Although the fire company whose apparatus placed
in their building located near the old and market
houses, called the Central Market y smany time
and off, rendered good service to the city in the extn
guishment of fres yet it subject of frequent
mark that in case Of fire during the market hours
horses attached to vehicles became frightened and the
location of the engine house deemed unfortunate
one The popularity of the company however,
bly, suppressed the objection to the occupancy of portion
of Eighth street for permanent building Shortly after
the partial fire which destroyed portion of the engine
house. the then Commissioner of Public Buildings gave
encouragement to expect appropriation by Congress
for the enlargement Of the building in short it
peced that oil distractions would ultimately be removed

theby, which always paid many times by the
But now what do we see Ia proposition 10 close
the street by permanent building, and to drive the farmer
off and substitute the butcher for it will ultimately come
to that arrangement The corporation has no absolute
power to close street. apparent to the most super
fetal observer To "open grade is not power to
close street. ...e ...
AS Mayor Seaton withheld his signature from the bill
which would have enabled the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company to locate its office the west side Of New
Jersey avenue, we have right TO expect that Mayor Bar
ret take particular interest In such projects and
hope that the energetic Commissioner of Public Buildings
sustained he doubtless will be- by the Secretary OF the
Interior will not fail to lot the corporal authorities
know that it is not always policy to yield to private IN
terests at the expense of the rights of the whole people
expect much favor from Congress- under the
most suspicious circumstances II show such thor
ough disregard Of good taste. JEFFERSON.
