The Baltimore & Ohio siding in the vi
Gently OF the Government Printing Office,
complained Of by the Northeast Wash
ington Citizens Association, and which was
ordered to be removed by the District Com
mIssioners, will probably remain.
Mr.. James II. McGnl claims that the sid
ing belongs TO him, and that the use of it
by the Public Printer, who now consents TO
its removal, was merely a matter OF ten
antcy and courtesy.
Supt Alvey OF the Baltimore & Ohio
Company, was present at an interview
yesterday between Mr. McGill and the Com
misSioners, ana, referring TO the oppo-
sition made TO the switch by the northeast
citizens, said he did not think prejudice
against the railroad should have any weight
against private business Enterprise.
Mr. McGul was invited TO leave a state
ment in writing, presenting his side OF the
case. for the information OF the Commits
siOncTs.
