the Washington and Ohio Railroad from Falls
Church station to point where the new turn
pike from Fairfax G. Fl. to Georgetown crosses
the railroad track, remonstrance, signed by
nearly fifty of the citizens of Falls Church and
vicinity, against the proposed change, has had
the effect of stopping further operations in that
direction, and secures for Falls Church the reten-

STREET RAILROAD The sale of the capital
stock of the Alexandria Passenger Railway
Company is slowly, but surely increasing, and,
posed of to parties out of the city, who will thus
secure the management of the road and reap
the certain benefit to accrue from their invest
ment, unless it be subscribed for, and that
speedily, by persons residing here, whose every
interest, it would seem, should induce them to,
at least, hold majority of the stock, so as to
have the affairs OF the company within their
control. The charter of the company is one
of the most valuable ever granted, SO valuable
indeed that in order to prevent it's pecuniary
advantages FROM being gathered by others than
those resident in the city, the question of the
advisability of the purchase of the whole of the
STOCK remaining unsold, by the City Council, is
debated by those who have the welfare of the
Corporation at heart Twenty FIVE thousand
dollars will lay double track from King street
dock to Cats Tavern at West End, through
Commerce street, place turn tables at both ends
and at the commencement OF Commerce street,
and equip the road with sufficient number Of
cars to allow one to leave the wharf end of the
line, land the middle turn-table, coming east at
intervals of five minutes, and Cats and the
middle turn-table going west, at intervals OF ten
minutes. The cars will be of small size, and
will be drawn by a single horse except for the
length of one block, from Water to Fairfax
streets, to ascend the grade of which will require
two horses. No conductors will he employed,
as the fare Eve cents for the whole length OF
