THE UNION DEPOT QUESTION.
what citizen of South Washington
says About Location.

says About n Location.
What's this talk hear about putting
a union depot up at the corner of Seventh
street, ~ asked an old South Washington
philosopher Of The CRITIC this morning.
al suppose it is based on the supposition
that Senator Germans bill, removing the
Sxth.street Depot, will pass"
"Well, that's no place for union depot
The people on Maryland and Virginia ave-
nues don't want another company running
its cars down their streets In front of their
houses. Why, the whole thing is wrong,
allowing a railroad to run through the
centre Of the city on level No other city
of any size allows 1t. The cars run into
the Broad-street Station at Philadelphia on
an elevation. Why should the roads here
take two fine, broad avenues, destroying
them for residence sitos2"
We'll, can you suggest anything?'
"1es, sir. Down on Four-aud half
street, near the Arsenal grounds, is vacant
square that would be just the place for a
passenger station and freight depot. The
railroads coNld leave X street aud go down
Delaware avenue to o street, just in front
of the Arsenal grounds. Delaware avenue
won't be built up in fifty years. There S
no prospect of iU. That avenue could be
taken good deal better than Maryland or
Virginia avenues. The vacant square could
be bought cheap The roads could then
continue around up Water street and over
the Long Bridge"
"Wouldn't any objection be made by own
ers of land on Water street ?" was inquired.
81 don't think there would DO tho
slightest objection. 1t will never be n
street for reaidence. You can easily SEQ
that IL is commercial street. Factories
and mills will be built here, and they
would be benefited rather than injured by
a railroad"
What would be the advantages coming
from your proposed changer" The CRITIC
asked.
"In the first place the residents on two
avenues would be relieved from n Just griev-
ance, tho station at Sixth and b streets
would be taken from the Government
reservation where it never should have
been placed Then tho whole city would
be benefited, because the barrier between
the southern and northern parts which
now exists would be removed. There can
be no doubt that the railroad has n
tendency to restrict travel and commercial
intercourse between the two parts. Real
estate in South Washington, not merely
upon Maryland and Virginia avenues, but
on other streets would be enhanced in
value. Many would come over here to
live and would help to develop this part OF
the city who arc now compelled to go tc
the outskirts to get low rents and small
houses. Then, too, real estate down at the
lower end of South Washington would be
increased in value by placing the depot
down there, for depot always builds uT
the adjoining property-brings hotels The
place 1 propose is reached by two lines oil
street-cars, the Metropolitan and the Sew.
enth street, while the Belt Line would
come within a couple of squares of it aud
could be easily extended. In fact, placing
it there would solve the whole problem"
