A Closer Connection With Virginia
by Means Of Electric Roads.
CAR TRACKS ON THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
The Building Outlook in This City
Frightening.
BUILDING REG UL ATT ON s

People who are interested in electric rail-
roads, whether capitalists or citizens anx-
ious to secure needed facilities. will no doubt
favor the proposition as 1t Is stated In the
bill recently introduced in the Senate by
Mr. Gibson authorizing the reconstruction
of the Aqueduct bridge so as to allow the
laying Of tracks for a street car line. There
has been quite a movement of late years to-
ward uniting the portions of Virginia con-
tiguous to this city more intimately with
the center Of population that constitutes
the capital city. This has not been entirely
due to the speculative interests which are
represented by those who have land to sell
or would have 1t to sell In case such scheme
was carried out. but 1t is believed to be the
result Of the legitimate demand fo- more
room on the part of the city residents and
for more rapid communication with the city
on the part Of those who have made their
homes In this section Of the suburb, but
whose business is still in the city.
There has been a marked change during
the past few years in that locality. popu-
lation has increased and property has lot
only been improved, but II has more OF a
standing in the market. A colony or wash

a trip through this region either by steam
line or carriages.
Waiting for Investment.
1t is said by those who favor electric rail-
roads and naturally everybody does who
would like to lessen the time coupled daily
in the trips to and from the city, that If an
entrance into the city was secured that
there is plenty of capital ready and waiting
to be invested in electric railroads through
out the state of Virginia. and especially
through those sections which are tributary
to this city Such an enterprise. however,
does not seem to be promising enough in a
financial way to include the erection of a
bridge across the Potomac, and SO assistance
in this particular is looked for from the
public purse AS the benefit is also to be
shared by the public, it Is contended that
such a request is justified.
Baltimore, Rockville, Sandy Spring and
other distant points in the suburban region
about this city are to be connected with
this city by electric railroads. 1t is natural
to suppose that places In Virginia no more
remote will naturally come into closer rela-
tions with this great center OF population,
and that after all 1t is only a matter of
time when the entire suburbs greatly grown
beyond, not merely the lines Of the District,

der OF the estate IL estimated at about
$4,000. The estimate OF the Ledger vafu-
alton is believed TO be sufficiently large a.
Il is based on a valuation made In 1884
when values were largely inflated In the
will Of the late A. J. Drexel IL was proy1dsd
that under the terms OF special agree
ment upon the death Of Mr.. Childs his In

cording to this agreement, the Drexels viii
