NOT THE FRACTIONS FAULT.
That Company Denies That Ii Is Re-
sponsibie for Condition OF Broad st.

In reply to the statement of Colonel
Cutshaw, the City Engineer. to the Com
mittee on Streets on Monday afternoon,
regarding the causes Of the torn-up con-
dition OF Broad street, Mr.. A. Langstanf
JohnstonS chief engineer of the Rich
mond Traction Company, said yesterday
that unintentional injustice had been done
his company.
Mr.. Johnston stated, further, his people
were only allowed to keep a few squares
of the street open at time, and that
the track-layers and PAYERS have fol-
lowed promptly He asserted that the
City Railway Company had been per-
mitted TO tear up Broad street almost all
the distance from Seventh street to Pine.
Colonel Cutshaw said yesterday hat he
did not intend that his remark that the
condition of the street was due TO the
company being permitted TO open more
of the street than the ordinance allowed,
In order that the work could be pushed
during the good weather. should apply
TO the one company any more than to
the other.
The City railway yesterday morning
opened up the street between Seventh and
Eighth streets. which. when finished. will
complete its first track on Broad street
There has been some discussion as to
when the time in which the old company
was allowed to shift its tracks on Broad
street expires. The ordinance adopted
and approved December 18th prescribes
that this work shall be done within sixty
days. but Captain PiZkini claims that
Sundays and holidays are not TO be
counted, and that his company has plenty
OF time yet.
