The people OF South Washington arc grad.
ually becoming more exercised about tho en-
cronchments Of the railroads. IL was the origl.
nal intention for the railroads only TO have
SUFFICIENT track room on Maryland and Virginia
avenues TO enable them TO pass through the
city and have sunlcient shifting room for tho
cars; but gradually the tracks have Increased,
until now, from the river to Seventh street, on
Maryland avenue, and from Seventh street to
South Capitol street, on virginia avenue, is n
continuous macs OF tracks and long lines OF
loaded and unloaded freight cars blocking our
streets, TO the great Interference OF tranlc, to
say nothing of the great damage dono to prop.
oriy between the tracks and the river. ii seems
that the railroad companies wero not granted
the right TO so increase tho number OF their
tracks. Tho matter Is now being Investigated,
and II Is TO be hoped that the railroads will be
forced to show some reason for their action.
