EAST WASHINGTON RAILROAD.
Capt. RosseIf Proposes Certain Amend
ments to the bill Pending In Congress.

Capt Rossell has made to Major Raymond q
report on Senate bill iii ''to incorporate the
East Washington street railway company"
which is before the Commissioners for report
Capt Rossell, after stating that the road over
much Of its length nearly comedies with the
Metropolitan railway and the Capitol. North O.
street and South Washington railway, says he
does not think necessity for this road exists.
He says the available roadway is narrow and it
does not seem proper that this company should
be allowed, at its discretion. to lay . double
track on these narrow roadways, and recon-
mends a proviso requiring the ap-
proval Of the Commissioners in the matter
Of single or double track.
He recommends that the company should be
made to sell six tickets for Is cents and that
the method of taxation for this road should be
similar to all others.
Maj. Raymond has reported on the bill as
follows:
II am Of the opinion that there is no need OF
line Of railway such as is contemplated by
this bill. The gentlemen named as incorpor-
ators in the bill l believe to be responsible. /
think it would undoubtedly be practicable to
extend the tracks of the Metropolitan railroad
30 as to sufficiently cover the new territory"
