AGAINST ACCEPTING THE LAND.
me owners Of the property on the south
SIDE OF Magnolia avenue, Takoma Park, have
agreed to donate five feet for the purpose Of
widening said avenue, and recently wrote q
letter to the Commissioners with the request
would accept the offer. Capt Rossell has re-
ported adversely upon the request He says
that this donation should not be accepted. as
the width Of the street would only be forty five
rect after they had donated the FIVE feet, which
ne thinks is not proper width for . street.
He therefore recommends that the Commits
sioners do not accept this donation.

COMPLAINT ABOUT STREET RAILROAD HORSES.
Recently complaint was received by the
the Metropolitan Railroad Company were taken
over Florida avenue from p street bridge
up to tho intersection of Connecticut ave-
nue. and Florida avenue and there hitched
TO the cars. while the horses taken out
were transferred back to the stables. The
and requested tho Commissioners to remedy
the existing state of affairs. Capt Rossell was
called upon for All opinion as to the advisa-
bility OF notifying the railroad to cease the
nuisance and in his report to the Commission
ers today says: ''Some time ago the car COM
pany sent their horses to Dupont Circle and
made the change there. This was objected to
by the Japanese minister and the railroad made
certain changes and tho horses were taken to
the intersection OF Connecticut avenue and
Florida avenue. Mr.. Curtis, living near the
corner OF Connecticut avenue and Florida
avenue. objected to the way in which the car
company was managed there and the Metro
politan Railroad Company again made changes.
1t would secm that it is necessary to incom-
mode some one. A route might be laid Out
which would stop the Inconvenience to these
people now complaining. but the result would
probably be that others would complain again.
The true relief will be found, hope, when the
more modern motive power is adopted by the
Metropolitan Railroad Company"
