WORK on The POWER HOUSE.

/
The Washington and Arlington Railroad
Company yesterday completed the raising OF
| two seventy-foot stacks on their power house
at the corner of Goth street and the canal. and
before the end of the week a ITO horse power
dynamo will be in position and ready for work.
Two of the company cars arrived last week
and more are expected at an early date. They
will be, it il said, larger than those on any line
in the District. The failure of the company to
obtain the necessary yokes or iron supports
with which to brace the trench that carries the
current wire is causing some delay; but when
they do arrive Su extra eXerton will be made
to place them in position in double quick time.
But little grading on the Virginia side remains
to be done. The route, according to its present
charter, after leaving the Arlington cemetery
gate and reaching the river, crosses in the
vicinity of the Three Sisters by means of a
bridge. Thence down NJ street to 26th street,
down 26th street to Virginia avenue and thence
east to the Baltimore and Potomac depot. This
route has now been found fault with by the
management and an effort is being made to
obtain q charter that will allow them to run
from the Baltimore and Potomac depot along
Virginia avenue until 26th street is reached,
thence down that street and over to Analostan
Island by means Of a bridge to be constructed.
From the island the mainland will be reached
by crossing near the causeway.
