The Commissioners today through Major
Raymond submitted their report on Senate
bill 157, ito amend the charter Of the Ecking-
ton and Soldiers Home railway company"
After watching the workings of the railway the
Commissioners say they have arrived at the
following conclusions:
"Up to the present time no method Of oper-
ating cars by electricity through conductors
laid underground has been satisfactorily es-
tablished by experiment. The method Of
operating cars through overhead conductors is
the only system which actual practice has
shownto be success. OF the overhead systems
now employed the Commissioners believe the
one used by the lexington and Soldiers Home
railway company, in which the conductors are
supported by poles situated in the middle of
the street, Ia the most satisfactory where there
Ii sufficient width OF carriageway for its en-
ployment.
AS SAFE AS ANY MOTIVE SYSTEM.
1.-THE Commissioners believe that the cleo
trical system employed by this railway, the
electro-motive force of which can never ex-
coed 500 volts, is as safe as any motive system
ever employed by any railway. The lexington
railway has never had any accident whatever
resulting from its employment of electric mo-
tive power, and the Commissioners believe this
to be also true of all other electric railways
now in operation throughout the United States.
OVERHEAD WIRES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON
NARROW STREETS.
''The lexington railway has been so admir-
ably constructed and equipped, its operation
has been SO satisfactory to the public and its
success has been 80 much greater than its most
sanguine friends could have anticipated that
the Commissioners say without hesitation that
the extensions provided for in this bill are
QenarallV IN They
doubt, however, the advisability of author
izing the use of overhead wires on the
LIST street branch within the city's limits, as
they consider that street too narrow for this
purpose. This objection will be removed if, as
the Commissioners suggest, North Capitol
street should be substituted for LIST street in
the company's charter, the former being con-
siderably wider than the latter"

ILLEGAL RAILROAD TRACKS.
The District Commissioners Preparing
Their Answer to the Indictment.

For some time past Major Raymond has been
busy preparing memorandum relative to the
indictment against the District Commissioners
for allowing illegal railroad tracks in South
Washington. This memorandum was presented
to the board at their session this morning and
considered by them at length. The memoran-
dunn takes up each count in the indictment and
goes into complete history of it. In one case
it was found that they were indicted for allow
ing an illegal switch to remain which in fact
had been removed some time ago. Then
again, they were indicted for allowing the side
track crossing E street at 1871 to remain, when
in truth it was authorized by an act of Con-
gress approved September n, 1888. The COM
missioners will visit the points where the al
legged illegal tracks exist and then make their
reply to the indictment.
