The receivership for the Baltimore and
Ohio viii not hnrt the chances OF the
adjustment OF grade crossings in this
city
on the other hand, Senator Mcmillan.
chairman of the Senate Dist riot Com
mittee. is very sure that the receiver
ship Will hurry matters along.
In three or four years Mr.. Mcmillan
expects that there VIII not he Il single
grade crossing III the city. This means
that I he Baltimore and Ohio viii have
built its viaduct and the PENNSYLVANIA
viii have lowered its tracks. II will
take that long at the very least to do
all this work.
Mr. Mcmillan yesterday notified his
clerk 10 write TO resident Cowen of
me Baltimore and Ohio. Living on the
Senator'S desk when the receiverShip
was announced was letter TO Mr..
Cowen. 1t told him if he did not at
once agree 10 and have drawn up a bill
providing for the entrance into The city
OF the Baltimore and Ohio by viaducts
that Senator Mcmillan himself would
introduce hill ard push it through. OF
course the letter was not sent.
WILL JOG HIS MEMORY.
The communication written Yesterday
was OF the same nature. II is intended
to jog the memory of the new president.
He was told that in making his arrange
ments for raising money he must not
forget the viaduct scheme. 1t VIII be
absolutely necessary to remember this
for Congress is detc rmined that the
grade crossing nuisance must be done
away with. In speaking of this Senator
Nom illan said:
Il think the prospects are brighter now
for the Il & @. That road must come TO
time on the ViaduCt question. II may
ask n little extension and that may be
granted, but II must get in shape 10 build
this viaduct. This question will be before
the receivers in all their efforts TO arrange
debts of the road. ] think they can make
the arrangements all right. Their plan,
OF course, enIbra Ces a handsome ne wdepot."
Work on the plans of the Pennsylvania
10 lower its tracks is progressing rapidly.
II Is expected that most favorable report
will soon be made. The entire matter
is now in the hands of the District Commits
Sioners. Ii is not impossible that some
interesting news may be made public this
week.
DOLLAR GAS.
Senator Mcmillan has also grown tired
Of waiting for the various new gas schemes
to be disposed OF. so Yesterday he intro
duccd a dollar gas bill i'll the Senate.
He expects that il will he passed by the
Senate during the next two weeks. He
has hopes that the House will act Just as
promptly.
The committee is now in possession Of
information which shows that the gas
companies OF the District can nlanufaCture
dollar gas and yet make money. Before
this these companies have always denied
tliat they could do this and there was nu
proof that they could. The committee
a. now prepared 10 answer all the state
nients OF the gas manufacturers.
