THE FOURTEENTH STREET HORSE JARS
The committee appointed at the meeting of
l4th stree. citizens on Friday night yesterday
and Georgetown Railroad Company. George
S. Gideon. Esq, to present the wishes of the
meeting in regard to the subject of restoring
ant Interview Of some length took place, and
in reply to the request of the committee, the
President OF the road stated that he had put
these one horse cars upon the road by direc.
ton Of the board of directors, and had not
power to take them off without their author
ity; but he would take the liestopportunity
to consult them, and be governed by their di-
rectons. Their charter, he said, equired them
to run only every Is minutes on that branch.
They were running four cars on fifteen minutes
time, when a numoer of peraons residing on
IAN street sent very respectful petition, set
ting forth the want OF accomm odation, where
upon two additional cars were put upon the
road, making six. After running these six cars
some three months, it was found that the re-
ceIpts were not increased, hence the Company.
to save expense, and at the same time to render
additional accommodation by more frequent
the road, and run In five or six minutes time.
The accommodation Of trips every five or six
minutes, instead OF every fifteen minutes, was
thus afforded.
In connection with this subject it may be
added that at the railroad meeting on Friday
night, Mr. Ptau stated that the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad Company returned
a less income to the revenue officers than did
the + street line. Were this statement true, 1t
would be evident that the Washington and
Georgetown Railroad Company were Gsfraud-
ing the revenue department.. The officers OF
that company, not being willing to rest under
such an imputation, have procured from Col
lector Clephape the following letter, showing
the statement to be incorrect:
United Sfotes Internal Rerenue, Collectors
Office, District of Columbia, Washington, Oct
2S, 1S67.-Geo. Gideon, Pres ldent w and G..
R. r. Co.-Sir In reply to your note OF in-
Quiry with reference to the correctness of the
statement BY MI Pau that your company re.
