To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
Why Is some one always aiming TO spoil the
beauty Of Washington? The latest thing Is bill
introduced In the House to-day by Representative
Ellis, providing for street railroad. Part of the
line is TO be on Massachusetts, avenue and on 18th
street. the two most beautiful streets In the city.
Ask the property owners on these streets and see
how many want their handsome thOrOughfare
ruined by street railway. One OF the principle
attractions of Massachusetts, avenue and 10th street
is the splendid driving afforded by their smooth
surface. Although don't own a carriage, can
sympathise with those who have TO rattle over a
car track with the expectation OF having wheel
1erked of. BeSides the residents on these streets
do not desire To have their quiet and repOse dis
turbed by the CHATTER and noise OF a street car ]
and many other residents OF Massachusetts avenue
hope that The STAR Will exert Its influence against
the bill.
