THE BELT LINE AGAIN.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,:
When an individual or a corporation
desire to eyade we'll defined duty, and are chal-
lenged by those sufficiently interested in the mat
ter to warrant an interference, they generally find
it necessary to obscure the issue to impugn the
motives of those who make themselves prominent
in the matter, and when writing upon the subject
to all the arts of the tricky to draw off the at
tention of the public from the real question Of
such a character has everything been that has ap-
peared in the newspapers upon the side of the
railway in the pending controversy. Particularly
is this
THE CASE WITH 30 STREET"
who, in communication in this mornings paper.
tries to make it appear that Colonel Irsh chief of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, has I'M
warrantably interfered with the Belt Line Com
pany, that the Belt Company are proceeding in a
legal way to extend their tracks, and in way
consistent with public and private justice that he
is doing this in spirit ofhatred and why he does
so the company are at a loss to understand. Now
none of this is true. Had the company been pro-
cecding in legal way no amount of hostility on
the part of Colonel Irish or his EMPLOYEES could
have made the District Commissioners stop work
one square on Eleventh street south as they did
nor would any amount of
WARRANT AND TONAHAwK
have ntimidated the attorney for this District to
the extent of making him give an opinion that the
law does not authorize the company to use that
square, which he did Again, is it consistent with
private and public justice for company to accept
a valuable privilege, with special condition at
tached, and then seek to eyade the fulfillment of
the condition while Teaping all the benefits of the
grant? moments thought will convince any
one that the District Commissioners would not
have taken the steps they did without good
grounds, and that therefore the charge that the
company have been misrepreSented is very fiimsy.
IT IS A MATTER OF GREATEST INTEREST
to all who have occasion to go to the public build
ing in which the money issues of the Government
are printed that Colonel Irish, the chief of that
bureau, was public-spirited enough to interest
himself in this matter. And why should he not?
He thoroughly understood the additional railway
facilities needed by the employees of the bureau.
He eXerted himself to secure these facilities, and
at reduced cost for the reason that the Govern
ment in locating the building where it is, was in
a measure bound to prevent too great an adj
ditional tax upon themin reaching their work. He
also understood the object of the company when
their movements were developed, and il would have
been reproach to him, it appears to me- had he at
least not made the attempt to require the company
to comply with the law. And it should be borne
in mind through all this controversy that all the
company are asked to do is to comply with the act
of Congress approved March 8. 1881. Any one who
may feel further interest in this read
that law. VIM. PETTIBONE.
