MI Hamilton, representing the Baltimore
and Ohio. said that what had been said this
morning did not seem to have any bearing
on the question now being considered.
They were there to discuss the legal points
of the question.
Mr.. Heard said that he thought it entire
~ proper for the committee to have some
Information as to the condition OF these
crossings.
Referring TO the statement of Mr.. Fritz
eel that 1t was said that the Baltimore and
ONO owned the District government, Mr..
Hamilton said that this was idle talk, which
would certainly not be repeated except by
fnadvertence. He acknowledged the right
of the Commissioners to enforce police reg
ulations, and said that the company did
not resist such enforcement. 1t was only
he said, when the Commissioners tried to
impose obligations upon the railroad in ex-
cess OF the Commissioners power and in
violation of law that the road resisted
He said that the road had proposed to the
Commissioners that an employee of the
District be detailed to go with the trains
and that the road would abide by any
proper regulations.
The Commissioners declined this proposi-
ton. The road had also offered to fence the
tracks throughout its line in the District II

recting the elevation of the tracks the rail-
road had right under contract to occupy
the streets they now occupy. certainly until
1910. and could not be deprived of this right
Congress could make any regulations neces-
sary, but before any regulations were made
the road wanted to go into the discussion of
the conditions necessitating regulations. He
said he would file brief.
Have Not Agreed.
He said that it was a mistaken impression
that the Baltimore and Ohio had practically
agreed with the Senate committee to the
proposition Of elevating the tracks. He de-
MED that the railroad had resisted the
authority of the District of Columbia Com
missjoners in the matter of police regula-
tons. They had resisted only such direc-
tons by the Commissioners as were made
without authority. The road readily put up
as many gates as required by the Com
missioners, and as many lights and
many watchmen were employed as the
Commissioners directed
He said that the District of Columbia
Commissioners themselves seemed to doubt
their own authority to order the erection Of
fences along the street. The road had been
enJoined by the courts against fences in
certain cases, on the ground that they could
not obstruct the rights of citizens to cross
the streets at any place. He said that Con-
gress might compel the company to move
its tracks FROM the middle OF the street to
one side or the other
The company's contention was that they
Could not be deprived of the use OF the
streets by Congress before 1910, except by
condemnation, under the rights of eminent
domain.
