To the Editor Of the EUeniRg Star:
Dear Sir: While rejoicing with the people of
South Washington that we are soon to have a
grand school building, and while contemplating
1t not be well to consider one two important
facts, which it is our duty to look into? Iunder-
stand that the Baltimore and Potomac railroad
company are going to erect their depot right
opposite the school building. There are three
tracks down opposite the school now and hear
there is TO be another track laid. Now the cues
ton arises, will not the confusion and accidents
which may happen from the continual motion
OF the cars, and also the noise OF the bells on the
engines, eventually make our grand building
LOT educational purposes Of no use? Would it
not be well for the people to look into this mat
ter before the Baltimore and Potomac railroad
depot is built, and, II possible see that their
building is erected farther from the school? If
they build the depot where they intend, one or
the other will have to be condemned. s.
