DISSATISFIED CITIZENS.
The Northeast Central Committee Not
Pleased With the Railway Outlook.
The northeast central committee, represent
ing the six local citizens associations in that
quarter of the District, held its regular monthly
meeting last night, DR.. L. C. Loomis of Win
throp Heights In the chair. Considerable dis
satisfaction with the action of the Senate Dis
trict committee relative to the proposed
suburban street railway charter was
manifested As originally presented this
charter asked for quite An extensive sys-
tenn Of roads, the main stem commencing
at the corner of It'll street and Louisiana
avenue northwest and running along Louis
lana avenue and 4th street northwest to F street
and then through + street to 18th street north
east. From this point there were to be practi-
cally three or four branches one running to
Brooklsnd, one to Langdon through Trinidad
and Ivy City and another along the Bladens-
burg road to the District line. In the House the
downtown end was curtailed at North Capitol
street. The bill has been reported to the Sem
ate with amendments which. the incorporators
claim, will kill the enterprise, as it is proposed
to stop the line at the boundary and compel
transfers to other existing lines and lines pro-
posed to be built At the meeting last night
Secretary A. VI. Dewey reported having entered
q protest in the name of the citizens of the
northeast and stated that reply had been re-
ceived from Senator Mcmillan. in which the
Senator said tina. the whole subject had been
considered extensively by the committee and
a decision reached that it would be unfair to
the Columbia and other lines to permit the pro-
posed road to enter the city. Mr.. Dewey said
that he then suggested to Mr.. Mcmillan that
il would be more unfair to require the suburban
people to build and equip several miles of road
running through a sparsely settled community
and then compel them to divide the fare with
another road for performing bat fraction OF
the service. He therefore had suggested to the
Senate committee that if it to be the set
tied policy to refuse permits to build other lines
into the city the law should be amended as
to permit the suburban company to run its cara
into the city over the tracks Of existing lines
instead of transferring passengers at the bound
airy. TO this communication, he said, no reply
had been received.
Chairman Loomis who is one Of the incor-
porators. stated that the Senate committee had
stated positively that they would not permit the
Use of street northeast. Mr.. Loomis said the
objection that a member of the Senate
owned property on the street and did not want
the carr TO pass II SO closely.
II was unanimously resolved to ask that the
bill be amended in the Senate in such manner
would afford the accommodations sought. 1t
was stated during the discussion that there was
serious objection to the Bhdensburg pike end
of the road. If that the objection to the
charter il urged that that portion Of the
route from 18th street northeast to the reform
school gate along the pike could easily be ADAM
doned and the line through Langdon and Ivy
City extended over Avalon Heights to that
point. 1t thought likely that the Senators
would approve such route, though there was a
doubt whether it would be satisfactory to the
incorporators.
The Winthrop Heights Association presented
-h.ft
of steam engines disturbed the residents Of that
suburb and resolutions were adopted request
ing the Commissioners ito take such measures
will abate the nuisance. and grant to the
citizens of that portion of the District that
lief and protection which Congress intended
when it placed In the Commissioners the power
TO regulate the Of steam whistles in the
District of Columbia. "
The Commissioners were also asked to cause
a gate to be erected at tine grade crossing at Ivy
CITY.
The central committee then adjourned until
the second Tuesday i'll September, unless sooner
called together by the chairman and secretary
