great deal of expense will be saved to

THE ID. AND o. TRACKS.

Hearing Before the House District
Committee-Briefs to he Submitted.
The bill to elevate the tracks Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company came
before a subcommittee of the House Dis
trict committee this morning for final
hearing Messrs. Heard Richardson, Rusk.
Abbott. Meredith and Harmer sat in the
subcommittee, and Messrs. Frizzell and
Tucker of the Northeast Washington Citi-
zens' Association appeared for the bill.
Vice President King and General Agent
Alvey of the Baltimore and Ohio represent
ed that company by their presence at the
hearing.
Mr.. Tucker refuted the assertion made
by the Baltimore and Ohio company that
there have been dissensions and lack of
agreement among the citizens as to a plan
Of entrance for the railways. He then
read the statement giving the history OF
the efforts made to induce the company to
change its grade entrance to the city. which
is published in another column.
Vice President King said he had no state
ment to make, as the attorneys had pre-
sented the b. and O.'s side of the case.
Mr.. Alvey briefly explained the occupancy
of a portion of an alleged government reser-
walton by a steam crane belonging to the
company. This Is not a government reser-
walton, he said. and the use of 1t for the
purpose of unloading stone for government
buildings is by an arrangement with the
Commissioners.
The committee decided to permit both
sides of the controversy to submit briefs
and statements in writing within a week.
Mr.. Rusk corrected a statement made by
Mr.. Tucker to the effect that the Baltimore
and Ohio company is building a tunnel In
Baltimore at a cost of $SOOO,OOO. This work,
he said, is being done by a corporation
separate from the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company, and in this statement he
was corroborated by Vice President King.
